While it has been determined there was no foul play involved in Samantha Spady's death, Fort Collins police reconstructed the last 24 hours of her life and investigated the events that lead to her death.According to investigators, Spady attended several private off campus parties between 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 4 and the time she was found at 6:22 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 5, at the Sigma Pi Fraternity house.The following chronicles her last hours:
Sept. 4, 2004:
- 5:45 p.m. -- Samantha picked up a girl friend at Westfall Hall on the CSU campus. 6 p.m. -- Arrived at party at 2018 Leicester Way to watch CSU/CU football game. Spady consumed at least 2 beers and 2 shots of tequila, ate some food, and remained there for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 8 p.m. -- Arrived at 607 Boltz Drive to watch end of the game. She was given a "supersized" cup which she drank beer out of for 1 to 2 hours. After game -- Spady and girlfriend left in search of ATM and became lost in south Fort Collins. Due to hard rain and poor visibility, Spady hit the center median in the 4500 block of S. Timberline, flattening both driverside tires. She parked her car on Angelo Drive, telephoned her roommate asking for help and walked to nearest residence where she spoke with the owner asking for directions to their location. The homeowner did not believe the two women were intoxicated. Two friends, a male and female, picked them up at 11:10 p.m. and they went to a friend's house for a short time. From there, two carloads of people went to another party on Prospect between Shields and College. They remained there for only a few minutes and left without consuming any alcohol. They regrouped at the Sigma Pi house for a few minutes -- again not consuming any alcohol -- and left for another party.
- 12 a.m. -- Arrived at a party at 1110 W. Mulberry Street. Spady consumed at least 4-5 beers, may have consumed shots of Vanilla Vodka, and may have engaged in drinking games. 2 a.m. -- Left party and returned to Sigma Pi house. Approximately 25 people present. Spady was provided with beer. 3:30 a.m. -- Most people left Sigma Pi house. Spady and 7-10 people remained and shared 1 to 2 bottles of McCormick Vanilla Vodka. 4:30 a.m.-5:30 a.m. -- Spady became intoxicated to the point where she could not stand up. Two friends helped Spady to the spare room. Her girlfriend tried to persuade her to walk back to the dorm with her; Spady was not able to do so. She was last seen lying on the couch on her stomach, using her hands as a pillow. 6:22 p.m. -- A fraternity member who lived off-site discovered Spady’s body while giving his mother a tour of the house.
