Cocaine, alcohol linked to former Playboy model's death

A former Playboy model may have taken hard drugs and drunk alcohol before she was found dead in a bathtub.

Authorities have told TMZ that Playboy playmate Cassandra Lynn had taken a large amount of cocaine on the night she died.

Lynn was found dead earlier in the week.

She was with a celebrity photographer when she allegedly took the substances.

It was alleged the pair passed out at around 11pm, but when the photographer woke up he found her submerged in a bath and tried to resuscitate her.

The woman, who described herself as an entertainer on her Facebook page, was working as an event hostess in the last few months before she died.

The 34-year-old was Playboy's Miss February back in 2006.
