Zach was discovered in a McDonald’s bathroom the day before his 32nd birthday, lifeless with his untouched meal still sitting at the table. Despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene. It is speculated whether the authorities made a genuine attempt to save him, as they failed to investigate his death thoroughly. All the evidence needed to pursue justice was on his phone, yet it remained untouched. When the sisters reached out to inquire about the case, the detective was unaware of the phone in evidence and dismissed the case as an “accidental overdose” without much care or empathy. Zach left behind a young son, adding to the tragedy of his premature death.

Zachs brother Greg would pass 22 days later from fentanyl poisoning.
