Veronica's body was found in a hotel room by police. She was lying in a bathtub of water fully clothed. Her body showed no obvious signs of trauma.

“Found out my friend passed away yesterday. I hope this injustice weighs heavy on the conscience of whoever caused you harm. Veronica, you were a good friend to me when I was the new girl in town and I will miss you forever amiga.”
