Posting on behalf of a user who wishes to remain anonymous but thinks people are having a difficult time comprehending that a girl like Dani could have a problem. From personal experience I can tell you that addiction knows no boundaries of race, gender, social class etc. I know some heroin users are injecting between the toes since it is much easier to conceal those areas than arms.

"I have a very close friend who works in Louisville media, who in turn has several contacts at the Louisville Metro PD. Her job is to cover all Louisville news, including this death. When she learned of the passing of a UofL cheerleader, she immediately told me because she knew I had friends formerly in the program. Within a few hours of arriving at Dani's apartment, the police had identified (and alerted media) that this was more than likely a heroin overdose, and only needed the toxicology report to confirm. Everything posted above is fact, as told by a member of the LMPD.
My assumption is that they knew it was heroin because of track marks, or they found needles or more heroin in her apartment. Police don't just automatically jump to conclusions in deaths, but they knew pretty much immediately that this was heroin. I would say with a large degree of certainty that nothing was laced; there was no ill will by a third party. She knowingly took those drugs and this truly was an accidental overdose. I just wanted to clear that up to stop the speculation I've seen here."
