The actress was found dead at her home in New Mexico.

Authorities have disputed the claim though, telling People, "We are investigating the death as a suspicious death at this point, and not a homicide, because the preliminary autopsy did not reveal any trauma and did not determine the cause of death."

The investigation remains ongoing as they await the medical examiner's report.

Leone's stepfather, Mike Romero, has set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs.

"Sophia was a beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and friend. She had a deep love for all animals, specifically her three pets. She enjoyed traveling and always found ways to make everyone around her smile," he wrote on the page.
