RIP FLORA TAUB (April 26, 1955 – June 18, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 2:25 p.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on July 30, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the coke.

This is considered an accidental drug overdose. It appears to have been either a heart attack (myocardial infarction) or cardiac arrest from the cocaine.
