Sadly, her death was from a combo of Xanax and heroin. Such a sad loss, she never got to come close to reaching her full potential. I wish her family peace.

Family Friend – You (and some of the others), keep talking about what a beautiful and wonderful person Alexis was and from all appearances, she was. That doesn’t mean she couldn’t have dabbled in drugs and that wouldn’t necessarily make her a bad person either. Alexis was pretty, popular, came from a well-to-do family and most of all, was 19 and out on her own for the first time. It wouldn’t be a big shocker if she experimenting with drugs and/or alcohol. The paper is not trying to harm this girl’s reputation; they’re reporting what they’ve heard from numerous sources and what is likely to be the case.

there are rumors and those of us that have not been privy to what actually happened would like to know the facts so that rumors can be put to rest. I have not seen any news article since this poor girl’s funeral yesterday. I thought there would be an update and havent seen one yet. As a mother, i cant image what her mom is going thru but i have added the family to my prayer list. When will this story be updated?

Rockwall News ans Alan, The story was poorly written, and offensive, “drug related” has many many implications. And it was wrong to use in this context. Alan if you’ll let us know what news agency you work for, we will be sure not to subscribe to it as well… How about instead of drug related you took some time to some of the beautiful and touching stories shared on FB by her many friends, or talking about the kind sweet and out going of person she was… If there is a message that should be presented as a cautionary tale to other kids, it should be presented after the facts of the tragedy are conclusive, not from rumors… Read the messages, this was a beautiful, exceptional youg lady, her life touched so many in a positive way… That information was readily available, abundent and factual… From hundreds of named sources. What kind of people are you? What will be said of you when you pass??? Think about it….

Just because this happened in Dallas County, where are the investigations into the deaths of our children in Rockwall County from Rockwall investigators if this is a drug related in Rockwall County. I guess it’s not Rockwall’s concern. What a shame.

Well hopefully you wait for the toxicology reports regarding Alexis before you assume any information you have received from your sorces are adequate in your next write up. Only time will tell the absolute truth about that dashing young lady. There is way too much at stake to publish anything that is not absolutely true at this point. God be with the family and friends of this child in these times of need. RIP Alexis.
