A friend and neighbour, Jerry Keating, went to the apartment when he failed to reach her on the telephone. The door was locked, and Terry did not answer the bell. Keating called the police; they broke in and found Terrys body on the bedroom floor, her back leaning against the bed. Five capsules, their contents gone, were on the floor beside her.Friends told the police that she returned from a trip to Mexico a few days before her death and that she was ill when she came home.
