@deepdlve: Keanu Reeves met a girl named Jennifer Syme at a party in 1998 thrown for Reeves’ rock band Dog Star. They hit it off and began dating. The pair got pregnant, but the delivery unfortunately resulted in a stillborn in late 1999, only a month before baby Ava’s due date. Syme suffered postnatal depression and the strain caused by the fatality led to the couple’s breakup weeks later. That was only part one of the two-part misfortune for Reeves. ⠀ Syme worked as filmmaker David Lynch’s assistant and brokered a relationship between Lynch and Marilyn Manson. ⠀ It led to Manson making a cameo in Lost Highway, and he struck up a friendship with Syme. She was invited to a house party thrown by the shock rocker in April 2001. While there, Manson noticed she was partied out and had a designated driver take her home. Syme, for whatever reason, was compelled to return to the party. ⠀ Driving back in her Jeep Cherokee on Cahuenga Boulevard, she hit three parked cars and was flung from the driver’s seat. The 28-year-old was pronounced at the scene, around 6:20 a.m. “After Jennifer was sent home safely with a designated driver, she later got behind the wheel of her own car for reasons known only to her,” Manson later explained in a statement released by his record label. ⠀ "Words cannot express the pain that I feel over the loss of Jennifer Syme’s life," Manson continued. Manson was the target of a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Syme’s mother, which alleged that Manson gave Syme drugs. It was settled out of court, however, with Manson maintaining there were no drugs; he was simply trying to get her home safely. ⠀ As a tribute, David Lynch dedicated his 2001 film Mulholland Drive to Syme.
