As you know by now the places I have worked in tend to be considered hip, exclusive, and fun party hotels.
Great news for all of you that want to let your guards down and let it all hang loose. It’s fun to dance, drink, socialize, etc. We get caught up in our busy worlds so much that we forget to enjoy ourselves. So, of course I am all for people having fun!
But with that being said, let’s not forget there is always a line which we should prevent ourselves from crossing.
Although death is note uncommon in hotels, this was my first experience with one related to drugs.
A middle aged gal had checked into our hotel with a few lady friends in the hopes of partying it up at our hotel and attending her favorite artists concert. She was looking for one hell of a time too! She had V.I.P tickets, an expensive suite, and a laundry list of party favors. She was gonna rock this weekend out!
It wasn’t until later that we realized the reason why she was partying like a rock star was the fact that she was set to be married on Monday. It was her bachelorette party.
Well, cocaine got the best of our party girl. Our security guards were called up to her room the morning after she arrived by her friend who was also sharing the same room. Our soon to be bride was in a very awkward position. It looked like she had been dragged. All in the good ol’ name of cocaine. If she had had her wits about her maybe this wouldn’t of happened. But it did. She was dead. And the details of her death were murky.
Later that evening homicide detectives rolled onto the scene to decipher whether to classify it as a homicide or accident. That investigation is still pending … not a good sign.
The worst of it all though came from her fiance who had driven three hours to the hotel on the assumption that his soon to be wife had hurt herself and was ALIVE in the hospital. Not so much.
It’s hard to watch a grown man cry.
Stay off the coke people.
