The friends and family of Cassandra Lynn Hensley, 34, are still reeling after the Playboy model was found dead in a friend’s bathroom on Jan. 15. And as police and those close to Cassandra seek a cause of death, the suspicion is reportedly that drugs were involved in the tragic incident.
Cassandra, who was Miss February 2006, was found floating in a friend’s bath tub, according to TMZ. The friend then called police, reporting a possible overdose. And that’s reportedly how the authorities are currently investigating the death. Additionally, foul play is not suspected, TMZ reports.
The Playboy model’s death is a huge, tragic shock — she was very active on Twitter leading up to her death — and the nature of it certainly raises many questions.
And though it initially seemed that those questions could be answered as soon as today, Lt. David Smith of the Los Angeles County Dept. of Coroner told HollywoodLife.com exclusively on Jan. 16:
The cause of death concerning Cassandra Lynn has been deferred. It will take three months before a final cause will be determined. More tests have to be done. This is the normal turn around time, especially when the cause of death may be the result of an overdose.
Cassandra Lynn’s death is so heartbreaking, and the story is likely only going to get more tragic as details surface. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her friends and family during this difficult time.
