An 11-year-old cheerleader from Utah was “very medicated” by a cocktail of prescription medications before being murdered by her “severely depressed” mom, who then killed herself inside a Las Vegas hotel room, according to newly released coroner’s reports.

As Blaze News previously reported, officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department found 34-year-old Tawnia McGeehan and her 11-year-old daughter Addilyn “Addi” Smith dead from an apparent murder-suicide Feb. 15 at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

‘The decedent’s family reported a history of severe depression with previous prescribed depression medication.’

McGeehan and Smith were found dead in a bed inside a hotel room.

Police stated in February, “Based on the preliminary evidence at the scene, detectives were able to determine the mother shot her daughter before shooting herself.”

Coroner’s reports released this week reveal chilling new details about the murder-suicide.

KTVX-TV on Wednesday obtained the Clark County Coroner’s investigative, toxicology, and autopsy reports.

The station said a chair was inside, right in front of the hotel room door, with a note on it that read, “Call 911 before walking in 2 dead bodies one is an 11-year-old.”

According to the investigative report the New York Post obtained, first responders found the 11-year-old girl wearing pajamas, and a pillow with a bullet hole through it was lying on top of her head.

The report added that McGeehan was mostly undressed, and a semi-automatic pistol was found on top of her chest.

Police said they located three shell casings in the room, and a magazine with live cartridges was found on the nightstand.

Handwritten notes penned by McGeehan said her daughter’s cell phone intentionally was left open so photos and videos could be easily seen, according to the report.

Another New York Post report said the girl’s stuffed animals were found sitting on the other bed inside the hotel room, among luggage, a food bag, multiple prescription bottles bearing McGeehan’s name, an “opened package” of THC gummies, multiple broken or empty gabapentin capsules, and a clear cup with white residue in it.

Citing the toxicology report, KTVX said McGeehan tested positive for cannabinoids, caffeine, eszopiclone/zopiclone (sedative drug), quetiapine, diphenhydramine (Benadryl), citalopram/escitalopram (an SSRI/antidepressant), desmethylloperamide, gabapentin (anticonvulsant used for pain relief), and lorazepam (depressant used for sedation).

McGeehan wrote in a note that her daughter was “very medicated” before she was murdered and “she slept cuddled with” her mom, the report said.

Smith had caffeine, quetiapine, diphenhydramine, gabapentin, and lorazepam in her system, the report said.

No prescription drugs in Smith’s name were found at the crime scene, KSL-TV reported.

Autopsy reports concluded that the mother and daughter died from gunshot wounds to the head; Smith’s death was ruled a homicide, and McGeehan’s death was ruled a suicide.

The mother and daughter drove to Las Vegas on Feb. 13 so that Addilyn could attend a cheer competition, according to police.

After the mother and daughter missed a Feb. 15 competition and Smith’s father could not contact them, he called law enforcement for a welfare check.

The report said McGeehan had been “severely depressed over breakups and [an] ongoing custody battle with her ex-husband.”

“The decedent’s family reported a history of severe depression with previous prescribed depression medication. They were aware of past suicidal ideations but denied knowledge of past attempts,” the coroner’s report stated, according to KSL.

McGeehan and her ex-husband had been in a custody dispute for about nine years after they divorced in 2015, according to court records.

Addilyn was a cheerleader for Utah Xtreme Cheer, which was “heartbroken” over the “devastating news.”

Utah Xtreme Cheer released a statement in February:

With the heaviest hearts, we share the devastating news that our sweet athlete Addi has passed away. We are completely heartbroken. No words do the situation justice. She was so beyond loved, and she will always be a part of the UXC family. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers and continue to send them love as they navigate this unimaginable loss. We ask that you respect their privacy during this time. Addi, we love you tremendously.

Lt. Robert Price with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department previously stated, “This is a sad and tragic incident, and our hearts go out to the family.”

What started as one father’s decision to walk out of a concert has exploded into something much bigger.

It all began when the man took his daughters and wife to MetLife Stadium for an Ed Sheeran concert, where Macklemore was set to open. And when he did, he tried to turn it into a political rally.

Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck has been following the story and calls Macklemore a “giant weenie.”

“He takes the stage and he’s facing all of the people who spent their money and took the night off to come hear music and enjoy their night, and he bombards them with this rant demanding we ‘free Palestine,’ and he fills the stadium with screens and images of the war and sang a literal propaganda song,” he explains.

“Now, he would have normally gotten away with that if it weren’t for a regular dad who is at the concert and then posted this.” Glenn reads: “‘I brought my wife and daughters to MetLife Friday because they were huge fans of yours,’” Glenn reads, noting that he’s referring to Sheeran, not Macklemore.

“’We arrived early,’” the father continued. “’Spent $180 on sweatshirts. Watch the first two opening acts. We were having a great time. Then Macklemore decides to turn your concert into his political rally. Then he started chanting “Free Palestine” and pushing his clearly uneducated version of the Israel-Gaza conflict.’”

“’My daughters looked at me completely confused. I had brought them to your concert, not to have an opening act lecture me about Middle Eastern politics,’” he added.

That’s when the dad decided to research Macklemore’s history.

“’What I found included his repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes; made the whole thing even worse. So I took my family. We walked alongside hundreds of your other fans. And as we were walking in, even the MetLife security guards were rolling their eyes at what was happening on stage. We waited until Macklemore was finished before returning to our seats,’” he said.

However, while the dad hoped that Macklemore’s performance had caught Sheeran off guard, Sheeran allowed him to repeat it the next night.

“’Friday night might have been Macklemore’s decision. Saturday was yours. You have a lot of Jewish fans who love your music, buy your albums and your merchandise, and bring their kids to your concerts,’” he continued. “’Tonight, you lost four of them. And I suspect plenty more.’”

Glenn is grateful for the father’s courage, saying, “That’s all it took.”

“One dad saying, ‘You know what? I’m sick of this. I’m done with this.’ Just that one guy giving you permission and others permission to say, ‘Yeah, me too.’”

Following the father’s post, multiple owners of stadiums where Sheeran and Macklemore were set to perform said “you’re not using our venue for that.”

“Then the singer Pink, who agrees with me on probably almost nothing, came out to support the owners. And now Macklemore is off the tour,” Glenn says.

“This may be the first time the Free Palestine crowd has gotten their much-needed reality check,” he adds.

Longtime Kentucky Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has returned to the U.S. Senate after nearly three months away following a June fall and a lengthy recovery that was accompanied by almost complete silence.

While the 84-year-old admits he’s “not quite back to 100%,” it would appear the reality is much worse than simply being shy of operating at full capacity.

“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell wrote in a post on X.

“My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me,” he added.

“The fact that we have a guy who’s basically leadership in the Senate — he’s still very powerful there — talking about how he had polio as a kid, I mean,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says, “it’s incredible.”

“He still has that residual cough from bubonic plague; it’s really something,” co-host Dave Landau jokes.

In a video from his return to the Senate, McConnell is shown staring blankly ahead at the back of a seat in a van. When reporters ask how he’s feeling, he continues to stare straight ahead, mouth slightly agape, without answering.

“He does not look good, man. This sucks,” Stu says.

“He looks like he’s about to play the piano with the band at Chuck E. Cheese,” Dave agrees. “There’s not a good way for this to end. Nothing says I’m going to do a competent vote like I took a bad fall in June and you haven’t seen me in three months.”

While the situation is notably strange, Stu points out that “mocking old people is not what [he’s] trying to do here.”

“This sucks, it sucks to get old, it sucks to go through this. The guy fell down. He’s out of commission for months and months and months and months. Quite clearly is out of it,” he says.

“But this is not a new story, Dave,” he continues. “The guy froze in front of cameras multiple times years ago. And at that point, even when he was in Senate leadership … I said at the time he should step down, and I think most sane people did.”

Michigan voters are making it clear that there are certain sets of beliefs that don’t mesh with their own.

This much was revealed in a recent CNN segment, where a panel was discussing the red-hot Senate race in Michigan between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.

‘It’s just gross.’

When it came time to bring up a poll of Michigan voters’ sentiments, the results were so shocking to host Dana Bash that she could barely string a sentence together.

A new Washington Post-Schar School poll conducted September 10-14 asked 803 likely Michigan voters who they would not consider voting for as a presidential candidate.

A whopping 45% of voters said they would not consider voting a Muslim for president.

This left Bash mostly speechless: “45%?!” was all she could verbalize to her panel.

After one panel member compared not wanting to vote for a Muslim to not wanting to vote for a black person, Bash replied, “First of all, it’s just gross,” regarding the poll.

The host was then mostly at a loss for words while seemingly looking to avoid saying anything that could be perceived as bigoted. However, another panelist pointed out that the 45% number reflected only those who were willing to be honest with a pollster. Therefore, he theorized, the number could be higher.

The only group that Michigan voters were less likely to consider for president were atheists, whom 46% said they would not vote for. Jewish candidates were not worthy of a vote for 20% of respondents, while Christians were ruled out by just 7% of those who took the poll.

When digging into the poll numbers, though, the stats do seem to be a bit more partisan than they initially appear.

With 78% of Republican voters saying they would not support a Muslim for president, they are certainly swaying the average versus just 22% of Democrat voters who said the same.

However, more than one in five Democrats saying as much is nothing to sneeze at.

Inversely, just 74% of Democrat voters said they would support a Muslim for president.

Citing the same poll, El-Sayed is sitting at 48% support for the Senate seat, while Rogers is at 45% with the margin of error set at +/- 3.9%.

At the same time, 53% of respondents said they preferred Democrats to control the U.S. Senate, while 45% said Republicans.

This certainly points to the idea that while those polled are nearly split on their support of Democrats and Republicans, they are far more aligned in the fact that they are more willing to vote for Christians or Jews than for atheists and Muslims.
