A music rep who has worked with Justin Bieber, Drake, and Post Malone has told media he had nothing to do with the death of a 34-year-old woman found in the bathtub of his luxury Miami hotel room.
David Bolno, who is 46 and married, told The Daily Mail exclusively that he had nothing to do with the woman’s death and that she was a musician he was signing to a record deal.
“It was a terrible tragedy,” Bolno told the outlet. “I had vacated the room in the earlier part of the morning so I wasn’t there when they found her. It was really sad, she was someone I really liked, and she was a good person.”
Laura Lozano, 34, was found lying face up in the bathtub of the $2,600-a-night hotel room Bolno had rented at Miami’s Setai Hotel on March 30. Hotel surveillance cameras show Bolno leaving the hotel alone at around 4:30 in the morning. Nine hours later, Lozano was found dead when hotel security went to the room because she hadn’t checked out yet. They had already informed Bolno that she hadn’t left the room, and went to make her leave.
Inside the hotel room, they found Lozano dead and an “unknown substance” in different parts of the room, according to The Daily Mail, which said it gained exclusive access to a police report about the incident.
Bolno said he was letting the woman stay in the expensive hotel room because he was going to sign a record deal with her.
“She’d been there because she was recording music the night before. She’s a client and she was going to sign a record deal with me[.] I helped her make music,” he told the Mail. “I really don’t want to go too deeply into it honestly it was a terrible tragedy.”

The Mail asked Bolno why he had been in the hotel room at such “odd hours during the night.” Bolno responded by saying he “let her stay there, there’s not much more to it.” When the outlet asked where he was while she was staying there, he just said “she was found when I’d left.”
“From what I was told she was found much later in the day,” he added.
Bolno lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife, Stacy Pineles, who declined to comment to the Mail about the situation.
Correction: An earlier version of this article said Bolno had been named a “person of interest” in Lozano’s death, but subsequent reporting shows that is not the case.
