The Sedgwick's are pretty rich too, and crazy, Sedgwick is her maden name, she was married to Post for a few years at the end. My point here is that Edie was either on speed or downers and even though she had quite a tolerance she OD'ed on the meds mentioned in this thread. Poor Micheal Post was the one who gave her the last dose, which was doctor ordered.
