Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes Funeral Details Set, Earlier Accident Details Revealed

ATLANTA (Top40 Charts) - The funeral for TLC's Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes has been set for Thursday (May 2) at the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta.

Additionally, a private visitation will also take place on Wednesday (May 1) evening at an undisclosed location. Both services are for friends and family members only, according to a spokesperson for the group at Arista Records.

Lopes was killed in a car accident on Thursday (April 25) in La Ceiba, Honduras, when the driver of the vehicle in which she was riding lost control, causing the van to flip several times. Initial postmortem test results show that Lopes suffered a fractured skull and a badly damaged chest in the accident.

Meanwhile, in an odd twist of fate, details have emerged that Lopes was a passenger in a vehicle that struck and killed a 10-year-old Honduran boy three weeks ago, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The van, reportedly driven by Lopes' personal assistant, Stephanie Patterson, struck the boy when he was trying to cross a main road with his family and stepped out in front of the vehicle.

Lopes paid a reported $3,700 in funeral and medical costs and an additional $925 to the family. The accident was not reported to local police and was considered a closed matter.

Lopes' body is currently on its way back to the United States. All but one of the other seven passengers involved in the accident have been released from the hospital.

TLC member Rozonda "Chili" Thomas has vowed that the R&B trio, which was working on music for the follow-up to 1999's Fan Mail at the time of Lopes' death, will continue on. "It's not over," she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I know that Lisa would not want us to stop."

Thomas reports, however, that Lopes will not be replaced. "As for Lisa being replaced - never," she said. "You can't replace a TLC girl. The chemistry we have is something God gave us. You can't put that together."
