A young Black woman who was found dead after a date withamanshehadmetona dating app died of “acute in- toxication” from a combina- tion of drugs and alcohol, according to the Connecticut chief medical examiner’s of- fice. The December death of Lauren Smith-Fields, 23, was ruled an “accident” after it was found she had died “due to the combined effects of fen- tanyl, promethazine, hydrox- yzine and alcohol.”
Smith-Fields’ family has said they will continue to de- mand answers in the case,
with plans to sue the city of Bridgeport and its police de- partment over their handling of the case. NBC News re- ported last week that the fam- ily considered it “unacceptable” that Smith- Fields’ date, the last person she’d been seen alive with, had not been named a person of interest in the investigation.
“The Police Department has been racially insensitive to this family,” a notice of claim, filed Friday as a part of the planned suit, said, “and has treated this family with no respect and has violated their civil rights.”
