Just last month, Pop took to social media, sharing an image of herself sitting on the banks of the Danube River, staring out into the distance. It was the final photo she shared.
Police said on Tuesday they were investigating the death of Pop.
In 1987, Pop fled communist Romania with her family, crossing the Danube into then-Yugoslavia where they became political refugees. Months later, they emigrated to Canada.
Pop’s style was a fusion of Balkan and mainstream pop. She had a big following in Japan.
Later in life she returned to Romania.
Pop caused a stir this year when she revealed she was in a same-sex relationship, in a society which has been intolerant of homosexuality.
