THE child of pop songwriter Burt Bacharach and actress Angie Dickinson has committed suicide after a lifetime struggling with a form of autism, a spokeswoman for the former couple said.
Nikki Bacharach, 40, died "quietly and peacefully" at her home in northern Los Angeles on Friday, but the spokeswoman declined to specify the cause of death.
She was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome following her premature birth in 1966. Her parents, who divorced in 1980, had no other children together.
