He started doing drugs and drinking as well as getting caught up in the wrong crowd which lead to him getting arrested a few months after her death. After her father's arrest, her eldest brother Jay who was 26 at the time took her in. Her other older brother, Will, who was 24, at the time was in medical school in New York.
