A homicide investigation is ongoing in Pasadena after the death of a 34-year-old woman, Heather Elizabeth Beaver, following an alleged overdose call that led to the discovery of narcotics and signs of an assault. Officers responded to the 1200 block of Lorene Court on April 4, where they encountered the situation that would pivot from a medical emergency to a criminal inquiry. WMAR-2 News reported that authorities transported Beaver to a nearby hospital, where she passed away shortly thereafter.

The ensuing autopsy concluded a death was due to blunt force trauma, establishing the case as a homicide investigation. This stark development clouds what began as a possible overdose call received around 6:05 a.m., leading to broader inquiries about Beaver's activities and personal interactions in the days leading up to her tragic end. WBAL-TV shared that, alongside the ongoing investigation, police are seeking the assistance of the public to shed light on the case.

Officials have provided a contact number for the department at 410-222-4731 and a tip line at 410-222-4700 for those who prefer to remain anonymous. Anyone with information may also reach out to Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP or provide tips online, as the quest for answers continues unabated.
