14-year-old Takeimi Rao dies at sleepover after drinking spiked soda, say police

(CBS/KCBS) SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Fourteen-year-old girl Takeimi Rao died after police say she was drinking soda spiked with alcohol at a sleepover in Sonoma County on Saturday night.

Takeimi, of Santa Rosa, recently graduated from Rincon Valley Middle School.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, but the cause of Rao's death won't be determined until toxicology test results are in, Lt. Dennis O'Leary told CBS station KCBS.

Police say three other girls also attended the sleepover at Rao's house and around 3 a.m., some of the girls became ill and vomited. Rao's mother helped clean the girls up and put them back to sleep, believing that they had food poisoning.

Rao's mother also looked in on her daughter, who appeared to be asleep in her bed, O'Leary told the station.

When Rao's mother went to wake her up in the morning, she was unresponsive and the mother then dialed 911.

One of the girls admitted to bringing alcohol into the room, and sheriff's deputies recovered a bottle of alcohol.

"The parents are really good parents and they were home the entire night," O'Leary told KCBS.
