RIP URIAH SHEHAN NIXT (July 16, 1997 – January 1, 2023)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. She could well have been deceased for much longer.

Ruling by the deputy medical examiner was published in mid-May, presumably after the results of tox screening came back positive for the drugs.
