Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Death:
After not responding to her family's phone calls, a wellness check was performed at her apartment in Parma, Ohio. Once the six responding officers gained access to her apartment, she was found deceased in her dining room. Dawn was on the floor, still in the clothes that her parents saw her in the. night before. Her toxicology report showed her BAC was 0.595, even though there were no classical signs of an alcohol death.
Additional Details:
Once in the apartment, officers discovered three cell phones — only one belonging to Dawn. A window was wide open, but the thermostat was set to 80 degrees. An empty bottle of vodka was found in the trash, along with an open bottle in the kitchen. There was also an open can of a Monster energy drink, a finished Red Bull can, and a finished bottle of Bud Lite Lime in the trash — all drinks Dawn didn't like the taste of. Were other people in her apartment?
