Bristol Township police responded to an apartment in the 6900 block of Bristol-Emelie Road at 3:55 a.m. on Thanksgiving 2022 following reports of an unresponsive woman.
Seaberg was found on the apartment floor and later pronounced dead, officials said.
Investigators found a blue pill near Seaberg, an empty prescription bottle, marijuana, and her cellphone at the scene, according to police.

A forensic analysis of her phone revealed a social media conversation between Seaberg and Brisbon discussing oxycodone and marijuana purchases.
Lab tests confirmed the blue pill contained fentanyl and the Bucks County Coroner’s Office cited Fentanyl Toxicity as the cause of death for the young woman.
