A young Irish fashion designer found dead on a boat in the Hamptons town of Montauk, New York was not murdered, police have said.

The body of Martha Nolan-O’Slattara, 33, ‘did not show evidence of violence,’ Suffolk County Police Department announced Wednesday afternoon.

A police spokesperson stated that an initial exam of Nolan-O’Slattara’s remains was ‘inconclusive,’ with the cause of death ‘pending further examination.’

Daily Mail asked Suffolk County Police if the death was drug-related, but they refused to comment. 

Nolan-O’Slattara was found dead on a boat called Ripple around midnight on Tuesday. Witnesses recalled screams ringing out around the same time.

A man discovered her body aboard the boat docked at the Montauk Yacht Club. Bystanders attempted CPR as first responders hurried to the location.

A witness reported that when the designer lost consciousness, her boyfriend was seen running outside unclothed, shouting ‘that’s my girlfriend’ in a bid to seek help from other boaters.

Nolan-O’Slattara and her boyfriend were yacht club regulars, a local who also frequents the Montauk hot spot told the Daily Mail.

The local claimed Nolan-O’Slattara’s boyfriend is the owner of the ‘party boat’ she died on. 

She was highly-regarded among the elite community, known as a friendly face with an outgoing personality. 

‘We come here [to Montauk] every summer and nothing like this ever happens,’ a boater told the Daily Mail. 

Violent crimes are unusual in the upscale Long Island beach and resort area that is known for its monstrous mansions and high-end dining.

Influencers and celebrities often flock to the area, especially in the summer months.

Nolan-O’Slattara was originally from Carlow, Ireland and moved to Manhattan, where she was living before her untimely death, in 2015.

‘I love it in New York. It’s expensive but I can’t see myself living anywhere else right now,’ she expressed in a 2024 interview with the Irish Independent.

She said she lived in the Upper East Side, and records show she rented a small studio apartment for about $1,900 per month.

Nolan-O’Slatarra grew up in the small town of Carlow, Ireland, roughly 55 miles outside of capital city Dublin

‘I was the small town girl who needed to get out to achieve her big dreams,’ Nolan-O’Slatarra told the Irish Independent last year.

Carlow is roughly 55 miles outside of Ireland’s capital city Dublin.  

Although she only intended to be in NYC for nine months, Nolan-O’Slatarra got a job at fintech start-up Street Diligence, a company that worked with what she described as ‘top-tier hedge funds’.

She claimed the firm’s CEO offered to pursue visa sponsorship after she successfully landed investment bank Jefferies as a client. 

She left Street Diligence after two years, bouncing around at multiple companies before starting her firm Brand Growth Consultants – which has an online presence that appears to be completely AI-generated – in 2021.

Determined to break the mold of her small town beginnings, she founded the fashion brand East X East, a company specializing in luxury swimwear, the same year. 

The business was hosting a pop-up sale in Montauk when she unexpectedly passed away, according to a social media post. 

She also launched several companies, including her direct-to-consumer Amazon brand Duper, her LinkedIn page reveals.

She had recently celebrated the opening of her popup shop at Gurney’s Montauk Resort and Seawater Spa

Nolan-O’Slatarra was also appointed director of operations at K4 Capital Management, an investment management firm, in June last year. 

While residing in a humble studio, the self-declared entrepreneur and brand growth consultant enjoyed a glamorous lifestyle, which she flaunted on social media. 

TikToks posted on her account captured her riding private jets and helicopters with her friends.

She and her pals took a Falcon jet to Nashville for a concert in 2021 with Nolan-O’Slatarra highlighting her ‘#milehighclub’ and ‘#privatejet’ life in the captions.

Last October, she shared a video of herself and a male companion drinking bubbly as they flew over a sunny, rural looking area. She captioned the short clip: ‘Heli on up.’
