1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Definite report. He's on the fresshell, all right, have to

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: start out with a serious story to do that after

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: that high that Jason was on. But on Wednesday, we

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: of course lost Gossip Girl and Harriet the Spy actress

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Michelle Trachenberg and as you know, or you know, as

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: you know already, but we may never know her cause

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: of death. So one day after her poor mom found

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: her thirty nine year old actress daughter unconscious and unresponsive,

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: she was actually pronounced dead in her Manhattan apartment, but

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: the Medical Examiner's office confirmed that her cause of death

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: was ruled undetermined and we may never know actually because

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Michelle's family objected to an autopsy, So if you didn't know.

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: In New York, families are able to decline an autopsy

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: due to either religious beliefs of the deceased or next

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: of kin, or if they're not interested in knowing the

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: cause of death, and it can only be required if

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: the medical examiner deems it necessary or in cases with

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: quote compelling public necessity, like being part of a criminal

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: investigation or being a threat to public health. I always

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: think it's interesting, though, when families don't want to know,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: But I guess you know, what's done is done, And

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: like I mentioned before, she did have that liver transplant,

23
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: so maybe they feel like they already know. I do

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: think she may have died in her sleep, which may

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: be some consolation to her family as well, and the

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: NYPD did confirm that her death was not under investigation

27
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: or listed as suspicious. Switching gears to a happier story,

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: Usher is set to deliver the keynote addressed at Emory

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: University's one hundred and eightieth commencement in May twelfth. Is

00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,959

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: just really doing amazing work. The organization's Leadership program actually

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: partnered with Emory University their Business School, which is an intensive,

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: four hundred hour program focused on prepared airing high school

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: students for college. By the way, amazing odds, one hundred

Speaker 1: percent of Leadership Academy participants graduate high school and ninety

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: eight percent go on to college. So he's really doing

41
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: God's work and you know he's going to get his

42
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: little honorary degree. Emery is in memories in Atlanta. Oh, okay,

00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,480

Speaker 1: thinking New Orleans. That's Tulane. You're right, you are correct, Yes, okay,
