Stanford University alum and former reality star Lyric McHenry was found dead in a desolate part of the Bronx early Tuesday with no pants and in possession of cocaine, authorities say.

She was found laid out on the sidewalk above the Major Deegan Expressway at Undercliff Ave. and Boscobel Place in Highbridge at around 5 a.m.  She was wearing a pajama top and no pants, police said. Her knees were bruised, but there were no other visible injuries.

According to authorities, a small ziplock bag containing cocaine was found on her. Her current cause of death is suspected to be drug overdose and police are investigating whether she was dumped on the sidewalk.
