Burrell performed improv at a Brooklyn venue the night before her death and was last seen “in great spirits” around 1 a.m. that morning, according to a witness.

She reportedly suffered cardiac arrest, but the city medical examiner has not ruled on the cause of Burrell’s death and sources told The Post it is premature to speculate on whether the pills that were found next to her body played any role.
