Tamla Horsford, 40, was found Nov. 4 face down and unresponsive in the backyard of the home of friend who was throwing an overnight party, authorities said.
The hostess’s boyfriend, Jose Barrera, reportedly discovered Horsford’s body and called 911.
“She’s lying in the yard, basically on the patio downstairs … She’s not moving one bit,” Barrera could be heard saying in a 911 call obtained by WSB-TV. “She’s not breathing. I’m noticing a small cut on her right wrist. She’s not breathing whatsoever. I don’t know if this cut was self-inflicted.”
Horsford’s death was ruled an accident by the coroner, who wrote that a fall from a deck caused multiple blunt-force injuries. “Acute ethanol intoxication” was also listed in the report as a contributing factor to Horsford’s death.
But those who knew Horsford well have said they had difficulty believing the coroner’s findings and noted another medical examiner, who was hired by Horsford’s family, found extensive injuries all over her body.
“It's impossible to get the injuries that she had from one fall," Michelle Graves, who said Horsford was her best friend, told WSB-TV.
She told the station she and Horsford’s other loved ones “feel there's something awry with the story and with how she lost her life.”
Details surrounding Horsford’s death became public knowledge last week when Barrera, the partygoer who found Horsford who also worked as a Forsyth County court officer, allegedly accessed documents related to the case. Barrera was reportedly fired based on a court administrator’s “loss of confidence” in his ability to perform his duties as a pre-trial services officer. Barrera previously denied to the Forsyth County News leaking any information and stated that he was never given any clear answer for why he was terminated.
