She was most likely roofied or consumed GHB. Nasty stuff.

My guess is that the husband knew she liked to party and she probably has done this multiple times before.

Please translate?

Rohypnol - the "date rape" drug. If she was roofied, these creeps slipped it in her drink.

GHB is also used as a date rape drug, though some people also willingly consume it as a narcotic. It's very dose sensitive and accidental overdoses happen easily. If too much is consumed, it causes your breathing and heart to stop.

Cocaine does not cause one to asphyxiate. It can spur a heart attack or stroke, but you will not suffocate. Cocaine alone will not turn her blue.

This was not her first rodeo. She's probably come into the city many times before and spent the night partying with friends. Usually no harm, no foul. This is a lot more common than you realize. I have successful friends with kids in their late 30s and 40s who do this.

The fact that these guys were trying to dump her lifeless body into a cab speaks volumes. Something bad happened and they were trying to get rid of her. Who does that to a friend?!?

The police are searching the apartment in an effort to find whatever downers she consumed. She was either roofied or she took too many sleeping pills/downers, which she probably self-prescribed. After a night of partying, many cocaine users will take some benzos or sleeping pills to help them fall asleep. She could have been inebriated and taken way too many. This could cause her to suffocate in her sleep. Mixing uppers and downers is a bad combo.

The underwear in her purse is also a very bad sign. I'm leaning toward roofies being the culprit, after she had already willingly consumed cocaine.

Tons of professional, "classy," respected people do drugs. Usually its prescription drug abuse, but often nice suburban folk looking for some excitement once in a while.

Those poor kids and her poor husband. It seems like a crazy thing for a 38 year old mother of 3 to be doing. And a doctor no less. It makes you wonder if they slipped something into her drink at the bar and that is how they got her to that apartment.

To DCUM audience? Yes, it does. Especially if they were wealthy (check) and pretty (check). And white (check)

Look at the crazy, unending thread about Savopoulos family tragedy - wealthy, attractive, and seemingly "had it all." Those traits are the gossip grist for the DCUM lookie-loos.

She's just like me. That's why it hits so close to home.

Rich successful and attractive makes it more tragic because they are worth more to society...

Her underwear was in her purse.

Why was she out drinking alone and parting with these 2 married men in their 50s and 60s?

She had $ and was a successful Doctor. It doesn't follow the usual scenario of young, naive, impressionable bimbo looking for fame and/or $.

How? Do you also go out heavily drinking and drugging with old married men while your husband is home with the kids?

I doubt the poster graduated Magna Cum Laude from Duke, finished Med school and is a successful doctor. More likely just a blonde come head.

She gets fantastic reviews on Yelp. Sounds like she was a great dermatologist, FWIW.
