FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - Police say a high school student in northern Virginia has been charged with giving drugs to a classmate who died.
Authorities say 18-year-old David Evers turned himself in to Fairfax County police last week and was charged with drug distribution in connection with 17-year-old Alexia Springer’s death.
The medical examiner found that Springer’s death was accidental and resulted from a combination of alcohol and cocktail of drugs including morphine, oxycodone, ethanol and other drugs.
Springer died March 1 after she was found unresponsive at her family’s home.
Both Evers and Springer were students at Centreville High School.
It isn’t immediately clear whether Evers has an attorney to comment on the charge.
The investigation is ongoing.
