RIP CHRISTINA MARIE SMITH (May 17, 1988 – April 13, 2024)
Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
Had been posted as Jane Doe #130 on April 14 with no date of birth. Identified by name with age on April 22.
The Department of Medical Examiner publicly disclosed the CoD ruling on August 6, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back from the lab.
Both cocaine and alcohol impair decision-making abilities. Additionally, the combination affects coordination and motor skills, making it difficult to keep one’s head above water.
