On November 14th of 2019, Washington Redskins safety Montae Nicholson brought a woman to the hospital, noting that she was unconscious and unresponsive. She was later pronounced dead.
A medical examiner has now ruled that the woman died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl.
According to the Washington Post, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said Monday that the investigation into the death of Julia Crabbe, 21, remains ongoing and that detectives are still trying to determine the source of the drug that killed her. No charges have been filed.
Nicholson’s attorney said that the Redskins defensive back and some friends went out to dinner earlier that night before returning to his home in Ashburn. Nicholson later told Crabbe’s brother that some people were playing video games on the lower level of his home when Crabbe went upstairs to use the bathroom, according to Crabbe’s family.
The people in Nicholson’s home heard a thump and went upstairs to find Crabbe on the floor of the bathroom, according to Crabbe’s family. The door of the bathroom had to be forced open.
According to the report from the Washington Post, investigators found marijuana, pills, and foil with residue on it inside of Nicholson’s home.
