16-year-old Elizabeth Mun died on February 15, 2009. Why did she suddenly leave the party she had been to?

Tragically, 16-year-old Elizabeth Mun died after she was found in an icy pound in Massachusetts on February 15, 2009. She had attended a sleepover party at the house of Laurie Zimmerman, but suddenly left around 5 a.m wearing only shorts and a T-shirt. Why did she leave the party?

The answers will be made public. That is certain.

1) 5AM was communicated as the time of her exit from the house, and Police were called at approx 7AM....almost a 2 hour time frame. They would have called in 30 minutes, had they not seen her in close proximity to the house at that time. The sun is coming up at 6am...
2) She was wearing shorts and T-shirt. This suggests she was doing something "normal" up until the time she left. The fact that she left the house without an outdooor wardrobe suggests there was either an altercation or an altercation accompanied by an alcohol/drug induced state.
3) She was found face dow. If a person falls down on their own, 85% of the time that person ends...face up. Face down suggests possible foul play.
4) Why was she transferred from triage at Lawrence, to Boston?
This suggests that this was not simply a drowning/hypothermia death. There were additional complication(s) that would have warranted this move, and requisite medical attention not readily available at the first hospital. (head trauma/brain injury) She must have had a pulse at Lawrence.

From her photos, she looked to be no more than 90lbs. At 16, Three or four drinks would make here incoherent. 5- 6 drinks and she would be almost comatose. Couple the cold weather with a severely altered state, and she couldn't stand a chance.. disorientation at that time becomes a fatal condition.

I pray for the family of this gifted child.
Asker's Rating:
• Thank you for your answer. It was an impressively detailed answer, considering there isn't much information on this yet, and very analytical. I haven't seen any new information regarding this, but I also believe the answers will be public eventually.

I hate to be an ass here, but do you honestly expect an answer for this?

There will be an investigation, and the answer you're looking for may or may not end up being public.

The only way you're getting an answer now is if you find someone on here who was at the party and knew why she left. And, odds are that that isn't happening.
