Performer Known As Mini Kim Kardashian Dies At Home In Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities in Las Vegas say a performer known for her impersonation as "Mini Kim Kardashian" died at her apartment during the weekend.

The Clark County coroner said Monday that 32-year-old Kimberly Tripp was pronounced dead early Sunday at her apartment.

The coroner didn't make an immediate ruling on a cause and manner of death, pending laboratory results.

Police said there was no evidence of foul play.

Tripp performed at Beacher's Madhouse at the MGM Grand Las Vegas resort.

Officer Michael Rodriguez says her body was found by her boyfriend, who plays mini Kanye West in the same show.
