The death of Cabrales-Arzola and her friend, Christy Giles, an L.A. model and aspiring actress, has sparked attention from family and friends who claim the women were drugged against their will after a night out in West Hollywood.

The family of Giles told Eyewitness News earlier this month the girls were dropped off outside of separate hospitals almost 12 hours after a mysterious text message exchange between the two.

Giles' mother claims there's video of a car without license plates and men concealing their identities placing Giles at Southern California Hospital and Cabrales-Arzola at Kaiser West L.A.

A toxicology report for Cabrales-Arzola stated heroin was found in her system.

Officials concluded Giles' autopsy, but the cause of death was deferred to a toxicology report, which has not been released.



The families of both women said that neither of them would have taken the drug willingly.

Meanwhile, the incident remains under investigation.
