Six weeks after Lauren Smith-Fields’ body was found in her Connecticut home after going out with a man she’d met on Bumble, police have said they will open a criminal probe into the circumstances surrounding her death.
The 23-year-old Black woman’s death was ruled an “accident” on Monday, with the state’s chief medical examiner finding that she had died from a toxic combination of fentanyl, prescription drugs, and alcohol.
“They’re so angry right now,” Darnell Crosland, who is representing Smith-Fields’ family, told WTNH on Monday. The 23-year-old’s death looked “more like a murder” to her relatives, Crosland added. “And if the police don’t start acting fast, we’re going to have a real big problem on our hands,” he said.
A notice of claim, filed Friday as a part of the family’s planned lawsuit, alleged the police had “treated this family with no respect and has violated their civil rights.” In the notice, Crosland charged the police department with failure to collect potentially crucial physical evidence from Smith-Fields’ home.
