A family member tells us Charmayne had come home from her son’s soccer game, and was home alone with him. Later in the evening … around 9 PM her husband, music producer Carsten Soulshock, came home and found her unconscious and bleeding.

We’re told it looked like Charmayne had fallen and cut her neck on glass … she was bleeding profusely, but still had a pulse. Carsten called 911, and paramedics transported her to Cedars Sinai Hospital … but she had lost too much blood. We’re told she died on the way to the hospital.

LAPD went to the home … and tell us it was a broken wine glass that cut Charmayne’s neck. Detectives do not suspect foul play.

Update: Other sites are reporting that Charmayne died from a fall at a soccer game she attended in Denmark.

Via BET.com according to a Danish media outlet, Maxwell was attending a soccer game when she fell. Her death has been described as an “accident,” though according to unnamed sources, family members are looking into whether she committed suicide.

Maxwel’s brother Brandon Maxwell, however, denies rumors that his sister hinted at suicide on Twitter before her death. “People are so dumb. This is actually BS…” he tweeted, with a link to a blog post alleging Maxwell posted a suicide note. He also wrote, “Bad things happen to the most innocent people. My sister died in the most terrible way and I’m in so much pain right now.”

Our prayers go out to her family and friends at this difficult time.
