Seems like she wasn't really a drug user or anything. Friends and family confused:

Kimberly Keith, a family friend, said Sasha's loved ones are still trying to figure out what happened. Although they knew Sasha was going to her first rave, Keith said, drug use was "not her character."

When they got the call that Sasha had been taken to the hospital, they had no idea how serious her condition was.

"We were almost like joking, 'Oh she's going to be in trouble. I can't believe she went there!' " she said. Keith said they thought maybe the rave was "too packed, she was excited and passed out.... Never in a million years would we would have imagined" drugs.

A 16-year old friend who was with Sasha at the rave said Sasha was dancing, got hot and began quickly drinking cold water.

Doctors said "her sodium, electrolytes were so low that when she started replacing them so quickly [with cold water], ecstasy messes up your body's ability to process that, so it threw her body out of whack," said Keith.

Do yall feel sad that Grace Rodriguez's daughter is gone, all because of electro music + LA drug culture?

The girl, identified by family members as Sasha Rodriguez, was one of two rave attendees who were in critical condition at California Hospital Medical Center after the 14th annual Electric Daisy Carnival.

As Sasha's family decided whether to remove her from life support Tuesday, her mother, Grace Rodriguez, told the CBS Evening News: "I was supposed to be planning her Sweet Sixteen party. Now I have to plan her funeral."

Kinda scared to take ecstasy now.

She sank into a coma and suffered multiple organ failure, prompting her family to remove her from life support. Doctors said she had the hallucinogen Ecstasy, also called MDMA, in her system. Another rave attendee is in critical condition from a similar overdose.

Ecstasy can cause high blood pressure leading to stroke or seizures, which can then cause kidney failure.

The rave was restricted to those 16 and older. Sasha was not carrying identification, friends and family said. "Obviously, they didn't check IDs," said Eva Rodriguez, Sasha's godmother.

Who will be held responsible for the death of Sasha Rodriguez?
Is it the promoter's fault? Her mother's? Her friends?
