Former West Ashley High School student Ashley Wescott, 22, died Monday night.
Two friends stopped by to see Wescott at a house in Charleston and found her unresponsive on the couch about 8:45 p.m., an incident report stated.
One of the friends, who is an EMT, moved Wescott to the floor to perform CPR and called 911, the report stated.
