RIP HEATHER LYNNE HAAS (June 19, 1991 – April 16, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Tuesday at 11:09 a.m.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published on June 20, presumably after the results of tox screening had come back positive for the meth.

This is considered an accidental, i.e., unintentional, drug overdose.

The decedent had been found lifeless inside a trash can in a residential neighborhood in the 8500 block of Wentworth Street.

The garbage bin was left on the side of the road, and her body was inside a Burton snowboarding bag when police removed it. It is currently unknown how long it had been there.
