Jayne Trcka, known for her role as Miss Mann in Scary Movie, passed away at the age of 62 on December 12 in San Diego, California.

Her son shared the tragic news with TMZ, but the cause of death has not yet been officially confirmed. Authorities say the investigation remains open as they work to determine what led to her untimely passing.

According to police sources, a friend who had been trying to reach Trcka for several days went to her home and discovered her lifeless body in the kitchen. Emergency responders were called but could only confirm her death.

Family members say they were unaware of any health issues and noted that her body showed signs of trauma. This has raised questions and intensified the ongoing investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding her death.

Trcka was not only an actress but also a celebrated bodybuilder, with a successful competitive career that included winning the California State Championship and Junior Nationals in the late 1990s. Her athletic build helped her break into Hollywood, landing her the role of a high school gym teacher in Scary Movie (2000). She also appeared as a prison guard in Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s Telephone music video.

In recent years, she transitioned from acting to working in real estate, where she was an agent for Realty Source California, living in the state until her death.
