23-year-old Daniel Bark has been arrested and charged with the hit-and-run death of former American Idol contestant Alexis Cohen.

Bark, from Toms River, NJ, ran over Cohen with a 2005 Mitsubishi Gallant in Seaside Heights, NJ, and fled the scene. Cohen’s body was discovered by two passersby about 300 yards from her car.

Cohen, who was reportedly enrolled at Montgomery County Community College studying veterinarian medicine, was visiting the Jersey shore beach town.

Dubbed ‘Glitter Girl’ by the media after her American Idol season 7 audition, Cohen uploaded a video to Funny or Die the day before her death.

Daniel Bark is being held in Ocean City. His bail has been set at $35,000.

According to Allentown Call:

Cohen was found lying outside around 4 a.m. by two passersby who called 911, Deputy Chief Michael Mohel said. She was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River, N.J., where she was pronounced dead around 6:35 a.m.

An autopsy is being conducted today, and police are investigating Cohen’s death. Mohel declined to say how police believe she died.

No cause of death, yet. In case you don’t remember her, here are both her auditions, after the jump…
