Model dies after apparent overdose on IV drip after days of partying

The DJ had been partying for several days before falling ill, the report claims.

She is said to have called a doctor to treat her at home.
The former Playboy Playmate of the Month was then put on a drip and fell asleep.
One of her friends, known only as Alexander, said the doctor who had treated her at home was a detox specialist who may not have been aware the model was on separate medication. Exactly what that other medication was remains unclear.

But the doctor warned Rasskazova's friends to stay close to her.
Alexander is said to have woken her up when she started "breathing in a strange way," reports the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper.
Rasskazova then went into the kitchen where she "she started choking and passed out" in front of her friends.

Paramedics were called but they were unable to save her.
It's been suggested Rasskazova may have been using intravenous vitamin therapy to administer vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream.
The IV treatment has become popular with celebrities in recent years as a quick fix to fight illness, boost skin's radiance or beat a hangover.
