Authorities in New York released shocking details Friday about the death of Katie Gallagher, saying the esteemed fashion designer—who famously dressed Lady Gaga before mysteriously turning up dead in her Manhattan apartment last July—was killed by a drug cocktail during a suspected break-in.
Gallagher’s cause of death had been a mystery from the jump. Her body was found by a concerned neighbor who reportedly spotted her front door ajar, with her keys still in the lock, on a Friday evening. When the neighbor walked in her flat, he reportedly found Gallagher’s lifeless body in bed. She showed no obvious signs of trauma, deepening the mystery.
The perplexing case took a disturbing turn on Friday, however, when a medical examiner determined Gallagher died from “acute intoxication” induced by a drug cocktail that included fentanyl, ethanol and p-fluorofentanyl, NBC New York reported.
