[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Only a phone call away - Three New York City professionals died on the same day in March 2021, after ordering cocaine from the same delivery service
- Victims are Ross Mtangi, 40, a trading executive at Credit Suisse Group AG, Julia Ghahramani, 26, a first-year lawyer and Amanda Scher, 36, a social worker
All three highly educated, so they should have known that there are risks to buying illegal drugs. Darwin always wins.
- Prosecutors say they ordered cocaine from Billy Ortega, whom they accuse of arranging New York City drug deals from his home
- The drugs were then allegedly delivered to the victims by Kaylen Rainey, a courier for Ortega who lives in an apartment registered to Ortega's family
- The victims apparently did not realize the cocaine was laced with fentanyl
- Both Ortega and Rainey have since pleaded not guilty to causing the three deaths and distributing drugs, and are awaiting trial
