Jill Sobule’s two friends are overwhelmed with survivors’ guilt saying they thought the iconic “I Kissed a Girl” singer was following them out of a house fire—when she had instead perished in the flames. Sobule, who died in the house fire early Thursday morning at just 66-years-old, was staying with her married friends in St. Paul, Minnesota when disaster struck. The duo quickly rushed toward safety, believing that Sobule was with them as they ran out. But when they made it outside they realized she was still inside. At that point, the blaze was raging too much to venture back in. The couple’s home was completely destroyed and both have no idea what started the fire. Investigators are trying to determine the cause and whether Sobule had died before the disaster or because of it. Examiners are testing her for drugs, alcohol, and carbon monoxide. The singer was described by her manager as a “force of nature and human rights advocate whose music is wove into our culture.” She is best known for her 1995 hit but also for “Supermodel” from Clueless and the theme song for Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous.
