An Orange County couple whose friends and family thought they couldn't have been happier with life were tragically found dead in the girl's childhood bedroom. While the cause of death has not been confirmed, preliminary investigations suggest they passed away from a drug overdose.
According to the Daily Mail, Newport Beach natives 23-year-old Michelle Avila and 20-year-old Christian Kent died on October 14 last month after the pair attended a party the previous night at a mutual friend's place, where they may have gotten access to the drugs.
