New Orleans, Louisiana. 21-year-old Ciaya Jordan Whetstone was a college student attending the University of New Orleans, where she was majoring in psychology and minoring in neuroscience.

When she wasn't in class, Ciaya worked as a sales associate and personal stylist over at a boutique called Buckle.

In her obituary, her loved ones say that she was extremely determined, super self-reliant, and had a personality that was "larger than life."

Ciaya also had a dog named Zoe that she absolutely adored, and she was very close to her family.

"Ciaya had a contagious personality that was one in a million," James Goodwin wrote on a GoFundMe page for her.

"Lighting up every room she walked in and made strangers into friends, quickly as she could. She was one of the most hard-working, independent, and strong-willed women that one may encounter."

"Having a spirit free as air and a love for everyone that she met, is what truly defined her. Ciaya was looked up to, by both those young and old, for her love for life."

On Friday, February 18th, Ciaya went out with her friends for the evening to enjoy the parades for Carnival that were going on.

Eventually, she went to her boyfriend's house, but then her friends say that she wanted to head over to her apartment to check up on her dog.

So, Ciaya called an Uber to get her back home, and when she arrived, her roommate tried to get her not to leave again for the rest of the evening.

"Another friend, Roberto Torres, said he called Whetstone about 1:30 a.m. Saturday, just as she got back into the Uber car," Nola reported.

"Torres said he overheard the driver ask her “do you like to party?" Whetstone told Torres told that she would call him back. When she didn't, he tried her again."

Just hours later, Ciaya wound up at the New Orleans East Hospital, where an Uber driver mysteriously dropped her off.

According to an incident report from the New Orleans Police Department, Ciaya arrived at the hospital at 6:41 in the morning.

Right after she got there, medical staff quickly noticed that "she was blue and her pupils were fixed and dilated," however Ciaya showed "no obvious signs of physical injury."

At 7:07 that fateful Saturday morning, Ciaya was declared dead, and that was only minutes after she got to the hospital.

Ciaya's death has since been deemed "unclassified" and the New Orleans Police Department continues to investigate what actually happened to her.
