‘OD doc’ a tragic wary tale

-

Let this be a cautionary tale. Dr. Kiersten Rickenbach Cerveny, a 38yearold dermatolog­ist from Long Island, was dumped Sunday morning by two guys in the vestibule of a Manhattan apartment building after a night in which, lawenforce­ment sources said, she indulged in cocaine with a married HBO TV producer. She was taken to a hospital and died of an apparent cocaine overdose.

Folks on social media are shocked! and appalled! — not that Cerveny’s gone, but that media reports have mentioned that the pretty doc was a former beautypage­ant princess and married mother of three whose panties were stuffed in her pocketbook. Seriously?

If an accomplish­ed man died under similar circumstan­ces, you can bet details of his fast life and untimely demise would be media fodder. I hope frank reporting on this awful tragedy helps save another life.
