The suspected cause of death has reportedly been revealed in connection with fashion influencer and designer, Martha Nolan-O’Slatarra.
Nolan-O’Slatarra, aged 33, is thought to have died from a possible accidental drug overdose, as reported by The New York Post. Even though an official autopsy is still awaited, the sources for this information are said to be closely connected to the incident.
As CrimeOnline had previously mentioned, a press release from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office stated that police arrived at the Montauk Yacht Club, which spans 16-acres, at midnight on Star Island Road. This was after they had received a call about an “unconscious” woman.
Despite attempts by “good Samaritans” to revive her using CPR, their efforts were not successful.
First responders pronounced Nolan-O’Slatarra deceased at the scene.
According to FOX News Digital, East Hampton Town police responded to a 911 call placed in the early hours of Tuesday morning by a man who claimed to have found the woman unresponsive on one of the docked boats.
A man owning two boats at the yacht club reportedly began crying for help while tossing items such as a sunscreen tube at other boats, as stated by individuals on other nearby vessels.
Sources on the other boats told 27East that the screaming man was seen naked while yelling,”Do something, do something.”
Around 4 a.m., detectives from the Suffolk County Homicide Squad took over the investigation, though the cause of death remains unestablished and the initial autopsy gave no definitive conclusion.
A post-mortem examination by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner’s Office found no signs of violence.
Per the DailyMail, she had been meeting with an insurance tycoon named Christopher Durnan, 60, on the evening of her death. He is also reported to be the owner of the boat where she was discovered.
Nolan-O’Slatarra told her boyfriend about the meeting, with plans to arrive home by 1 a.m. Her boyfriend was not on the boat when the incident occurred.
Former NYPD sergeant and host of “Gold Shields” podcast, Dan Murphy, told Nancy Grace that although there is no indication yet whether drugs were involved, illicit activities are sometimes swept under the rug in wealthy areas in New York.
“This is an area where you’re going to see people who are going to turn a blind eye to things and just either not want to believe it,”he said.
“It’s not too different from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. People think the Upper East Side of Manhattan is just a playground for the rich. In many ways, it can be, but there’s also dirtiness behind the covers.”
Police have not specified whether Nolan-O’Slatarra, who was the East x East clothing brand founder and the director of operations for K IV Capital Management, has any known history of drug use.
“She’s being made out to be a party girl. I don’t think that’s true, and I’ll tell you why,” Grace added.
“Everything I have been able to find out about her is that she was raised in a very small town, very small town. Her dream was to quote, ‘make it in New York.’ And she has worked night and day, clawed tooth and nail to create her own business.”

Residents in the area described Nolan-O’Slatarra as kind and welcoming.
“She was well known in the community. She was very friendly. Always smiling,” a resident told The New York Post, “There’s going to be a lot of conversation out of this.”
Police have not named a suspect in the case.
