A new investigation launched in the death of a popular social media influencer after allegations of  botched police work. 23-year-old Lauren Smith-Fields died of what has been ruled as an accidental overdose of Fentanyl, prescription medication, and alcohol. 911 was called by a man Smith-Fields met through a dating app. Matthew LaFountain told police that he woke up the morning following a date and saw Smith-Fields not breathing while “blood was coming out of her right nostril.” The victim’s family attorney, Darnell Crosland, is pushing for DNA testing after claiming a semen-filled condom and bloody bedsheets found at the scene were allegedly compromised by Bridgeport Police Department.
