Laney Chantal had appeared on SyFy Network's "Face Off" reality show, where she withdrew on her own, well before the show could be completed, ranking 5th. Chantal became famous after the way she performed in the show.
She suffered an accidental drug overdose, and her parents say Laney was dealing with a lot of mental stress and was on prescribed drugs. Her death has proved hard for people who worked with her as she was a genuinely wonderful human being like Gabriella Accarino.
Her real name was Alaina Chantal Parkhurst, and she was just 33 at the time of death. Laney had come to Los Angeles from Michigan to work as a professional make-up artist, getting work at a Halloween store when she first arrived. She worked for Boneyard FX, which had Universal Studios as a client. She studied at Cinema Makeup School in Los Angeles after graduating in 2007.
Her work can be seen in Lil Nas X's music video "Montero-Call me By Your Name." Lil Nas X's video won the "Video of the Year Award" for MTV's VMA. She was considered among the best make-up artist, and special effects were her specialty. She worked with many celebrities as a make-up artist, like Bella Thorne and Marilyn Manson.
Her family suggested that people can donate to The Brain & Behaviour Research Foundation, as Laney suffered from mental problems though her adulthood.
