Today, friends and family will remember the life of a teenage girl who apparently died after drinking vodka at a slumber party.
A public memorial for Takeimi Rao will be held this afternoon at 2:00 at St. Eugene's Cathedral in Santa Rosa.
Rao was found dead in her home Sunday morning.
Police say Rao died after she and three friends got sick from drinking vodka that they snuck from a kitchen cabinet Saturday night.
Investigators say it's possible Rao died after choking on her own vomit, but they won't know for sure until toxicology reports come back.
