Authorities found Moran’s body in Indiana following a call about an ‘unresponsive female about 4pm Saturday.
[Sources say] Moran, who lived in a trailer park in New Salisbury, Indiana, died of a suspected heroin overdose.…Her downward spiral became evident in September 2012, when she was photographed looking worse for wear outside a Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana, after reportedly being kicked out of the trailer she shared with her husband Steve Fleischmann.
Erin was reportedly told to leave the trailer she’d been sharing with her husband by his mother, who was tired of her ‘hard-partying ways.’
The National Enquirer reported earlier that year the couple had moved into the ‘rundown trailer park’ after losing their California home to foreclosure.‘Erin was going out to bars and coming home at all hours of the night, sometimes with her rowdy bar friends, and Steve’s mom just couldn’t take it anymore,’ a source said.
The publication claimed Erin was ‘bouncing’ from motel to motel. —DailyMail
She is one of the latest victims of America’s rising Heroin problem that desperately needs a solution.

Drug overdose deaths are the leading cause of injury death in the United States, ahead of motor vehicle deaths and firearms (deaths),” the Drug Enforcement Agency announced on Wednesday. — CNS (2015)
… it’s time we take this issue seriously. Including cutting it off at the source.
We need to do this both for the lives of those addicted and for the loved ones those addictions hurt.
