DALLAS - A nightclub is advertised as the biggest party in Dallas and it happens every Sunday. But now, a young woman's death has some people questioning why no one has done more to put the brakes on the all-night bash.
But for one local teenager and her friends, a night of clubbing turned tragic.
She called me freaking out, telling me they took Brittany to the hospital, said Shelly Miller.
It was Miller's 21-year-old daughter Courtnei calling. Courtnei had been out with her childhood friend, Brittany Nemeth.
She was just screaming and crying, said Brion Miller, Courtnei's stepfather. That is when she told me, you know, Brittany is gone. She is dead. She is not breathing.'
A White Settlement police report says the young women were at a club called Jaguars in northwest Dallas.
Brittany and her boyfriend were taking the drug Ecstasy. When Brittany started tripping, a friend took her outside, and the Millers say club security got them a cab.
Why didn't the people at the club call 911? questioned Brion. This happened at the club.
The Millers say the cab drove 45 miles all the way to White Settlement, when Parkland Hospital was just miles away.
Once home, the friends put Brittany in a cold bath.
They were all impaired to the point where they were not making good decisions, said Brion.
By the time Courtnei drove her friend to the emergency room hours later, it was too late.
When they opened the door, she had fallen out and stuff was coming out of her mouth, said Shelly.
Nemeth, 19, was dead. An autopsy shows she had toxic levels of a variety of drugs, including methamphetamine and Ecstasy.
