Pop titan Lady Gaga has apologised for assuming the death of Canadian artist, Rick Genest, popularly known as Zombie Boy, as a suicide.

Clarifying her condolences, the Grammy Winner tweeted, "Out of respect for Rick's family, Rick & his legacy I apologise if I spoke too soon as there was no witnesses or evidence to support any conclusion for the cause of his death. I in no way meant to draw an unjust conclusion. My deepest condolences to his entire family and friends."
