DERRY, N.H. — A high-school teacher here says she was in disbelief when she learned the 19-year-old woman who died in an apparent drug overdose at a Lansdowne Street nightclub was one of her former students.
Flannigan, a 2012 graduate of the school and a student at Plymouth State University, died early Wednesday at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She was one of three people rushed there from a performance by German DJ Zedd at the House of Blues. The two other people, a 19-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man, were reported to be in serious condition.
Flannigan's family declined to comment today.
"No, we have nothing to say," said a woman who answered the door at the family's ranch home. She declined to identify herself.
Pinkerton Headmaster Mary A. Anderson said in a statement today that Flannigan was a "gifted" student.
"It is with a heavy heart that I learned of the death of 2012 graduate Brittany Flannigan of Derry. Following graduation 14 short months ago, this popular, academically gifted, solid student pursued a degree at Plymouth State University. Her untimely death is tragic and heartbreaking," Anderson said.
