Elizabeth Grace Burton was 19-years-old when she died in March of 2023.
She was a first-year student at UNC-Chapel Hill, and had been admitted to the Kenan-Flagler Business School. Burton died of a drug overdose.
Last month, a man named Cye Fraser pleaded guilty to charges for distribution that resulted in the death of a Raleigh man. Grace Burton, "also died after overdosing on fentanyl-laced cocaine that Frasier had supplied," according to a story by reporter Charlotte Kramon.
This week Fraser's girlfriend Carlisa Allen is on trial for similar charges.
You can read the original report published at the Assembly here: "A UNC Student's Overdose Death at Duke." Kramon's follow-up was published by the Indy Week.
