Julissa Gomez (1972-1991) was a US gymnast.

In May 1988, during warmups for a final in Tokyo, her foot slipped off the springboard, and her head hit the vaulting horse at high speed. The resulting crash paralyzed her from the neck down. A subsequent accident at a Japanese hospital, in which she became disconnected from her ventilator, resulted in severe brain damage and left her in a catatonic state. Gomez's family cared for her for 3 years before she succumbed to an infection and died in August 1991.

She died by getting shot by Yolanda, her friend who turned out to be stealing from her office. And she lost so much blood she died. She was such a great singer and I listen to her music A TON.
