The family described the police's behavior as "racially insensitive," Rolling Stone reports.

The Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner attributed Smith-Field's death to acute intoxication from the effects of fentanyl, promethazine, hydroxyzine and alcohol. However, the Bridgeport Police Department and the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration are working together to investigate her death, NBC News reports.
