Ekki hefur verið gefið út hver dánarorsök Pearlman var. Hann hafði þó lengi verið vanheill heilsu, en hann fékk hjartaáfall árið 2010.
Ýmsir fyrrum skjólstæðingar Pearlman hafa vottað honum virðingu sína á Twitter, meðal annars stjórstjarnan Justin Timberlake.
I hope he found some peace. God bless and RIP, Lou Pearlman.

Many emotions at the news of Lou's passing. Without Lou I wouldn't have met my four brothers or had the opportunity of a lifetime. RIP.
