• The Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s autopsy revealed no external trauma and the final cause of death awaits toxicology and histology analyses expected in coming months.
• Unnamed sources reported she had met yacht owner Christopher Durnan that night and photographs allegedly show white powder aboard the vessel, but authorities have not verified those claims.
