An investigation has been opened by Connecticut police following the death of Lauren Smith-Fields, a young woman of 23 years, as revealed by News 8 this Thursday, January 27.
An intriguing death. Lauren Smith-Fields is a 23 year old young woman who became known on the social network TikTok. His body was found on December 12 on the floor of his Bridgeport apartment. She was taking classes at Norwalk Community College and working as an eyebrow specialist. As News 8 reported on Thursday, Jan. 27, Connecticut police have opened an investigation to learn more about the conditions of his death. The reason ? This is suspicious. Indeed, Lauren Smith-Fields died only a few hours after meeting, in person, a man she had been talking to on an app for three days. According to the media, it is he who called the emergency services after having realized that she was bleeding from the nose and had stopped breathing. Subsequently, the autopsy revealed that the young woman had “succumbed to an overdose due to the effects of alcohol, fentanyl, promethazine and hydroxyzine“. An explanation that does not sit well with the family of Lauren Smith-Fields since they were quick to claim that she had never taken drugs.
They are convinced of it. For the relatives of the young woman, her death “looks more like manslaughter“, assured Darnell Crosland, their lawyer. “It looks more like murder, and if the police don’t start acting soon, we’re going to have a really big problem on our hands.“, he continued before denouncing the conclusions of the investigators. “I have never seen a medical examiner conclude that a drug mix was an accident without knowing who supplied the drug or how it was ingested“, he wrote on his Twitter account. Subsequently, he made specific requests to the investigators. “Find out whether or not he was related to people in the drug world“, he declared before indicating that the police would have explained to the relatives of the young woman that the man in question is”nice and that there is no need to investigate him“. Words that did not go unnoticed.”Police have not investigated the matter and refuse to consider the last person who was with Lauren Smith-Fields before her death a person of interest. This behavior is unacceptable“, he concluded.
Lauren Smith-Fields: did the investigators react to the words of her family’s lawyer?
Faced with Darnell Crosland’s accusations, it was Rebeca Garcia, Bridgeport’s police chief, who broke the silence. “The Bridgeport Police Department continues to treat the untimely death of Lauren Smith-Fields as an active investigation as we now refocus our attention and efforts on the factors that led to her death.“, she assured. For their part, the relatives of Lauren Smith-Fields have opened a page to collect donations. “On December 12, 2021, our family lost a daughter, sister, niece, cousin and loving friend Lauren Smith-Fields. The circumstances surrounding Lauren’s death have proven suspicious and we, her family, need your help to bring to light the answers we seek.“, they wrote. They also claimed to want”launch our own investigation to seek justice for Lauren“. Will they get the answers to their questions?
