Elizabeth Luebke, 21 was found by a passerby frozen just a few blocks from the house where she had attended a party the night before, the Milwaukee County medical examiner said in a report.
21-yr-old woman froze to death after leaving her friend's party in shorts and tank top
A 21-year-old woman froze to death after she left her friend's party wearing just shorts, stockings and tank top.
Officials said Luebke’s body was “mostly frozen” when it was found and she was “not dressed for the really cold weather.
She was found wearing shorts, fishnet stockings, shoes, and a tank top. A sweater was found near her body.
Officials said that a video camera at a nearby business captured Luebke walking down the street when she suddenly collapsed in front of a home and eventually stopped moving.
Luebke, who attended the party following a concert on Saturday night, had been reported missing by her mother.
A friend told Fox 6 that Luebke had angrily left the party after an argument.
“When she got here, she was really, really drunk and she got mad at her other friend and she stormed out,” the unidentified man said.
BuzzFeed News reported that Luebke’s mother told authorities that her daughter had a history of binge-drinking and was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning in October after she was found passed out at a bar.
Her blood alcohol content at the hospital was 0.4.
Her friends have paid tribute to her online, calling her “one of the nicest and caring people.”
A police spokesperson told Fox 6 that they advise young people to leave parties together to avoid similar tragedies.
“That’s just general personal safety,” Joel Dhein told the station.
