Porter, who dated Diddy for many years before their 2007 split, was found dead in her home on Thursday. She was 47.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Porter’s death in a statement explaining that officers responded to a death investigation at 11:40 a.m. in Toluca Lake, California, where they found a female unresponsive at the residence.
Porter was pronounced dead at the scene.
The cause of death is undetermined at this time. According to an emergency dispatch call posted by TMZ, the call came in as a cardiac arrest. While it’s not yet clear what caused Porter’s death, a source told the outlet she had been suffering from pneumonia for weeks.

Though Diddy declined to comment publicly for several days following her death, an insider told PEOPLE that the 49-year-old hip-hop mogul was “devastated and shocked.”
“He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work,” the source said.
On Sunday he broke his silence with a video of the former couple dancing and canoodling for the camera while the model was pregnant.
“For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship.”
“We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates,” he concluded. “WE WERE SOME OTHER S—!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love.”
On Sunday, Combs shared a peek at a private memorial he held for Porter.
In the Instagram story videos, Combs surveyed six glamorous photos of Porter set up on easels outside a home. On the ground, candles burned.
