NEW YORK — A renowned fashion designer with ties to Lady Gaga killed by a fentanyl overdose last summer was actually a homicide victim, with her death possibly linked to a string of fatal druggings by roving robbery crews, police and law enforcement sources said Friday.
Kathryn Marie Gallagher, whose A-list clients included Lady Gaga and actress Laverne Cox, was found dead inside her Lower East Side apartment around 8:50 p.m. on July 24. 2022. Authorities now believe the 35-year-old was one of at least seven people killed in the deadly spree.
An autopsy revealed Gallagher died of “acute intoxication” from a mix of fentanyl, cocaine, ethanol and other drugs, said the city Medical Examiner, ruling Gallagher was a victim of “drug-facilitated death” with no additional details made public.
