The Last Days of Left Eye is a documentary directed by Lauren Lazin which premiered on VH1 and VH1 Soul on May 19, 2007. Filmed from March 30, 2002 until her death on April 25, 2002, it centered on the life, last days spent in spiritual retreat in Honduras, and accidental death of rapper and TLC member Lisa Lopes (May 27, 1971 — April 25, 2002), featuring narrative insight and commentary from interviews of the singer.
Initial accident
During the course of filming the documentary, Lisa and a few friends were passengers in a vehicle driven by her assistant. During the drive, a small boy ran out in front of the vehicle and was struck. The child died later that night. Lisa thinks that the spirit that is haunting her killed the child by mistake.
Lopes' death
The video of Lopes' fatal accident, taken from within the Mitsubishi Montero Sport that rolled over into the grass, shows only events in the vehicle prior to the moment of impact. The coroner who performed her autopsy ruled her death an accident.
