heart meds before being released on June 11, the coroner claimed.<\/p>\n<p>Fisher said that Moore\u2019s husband, Brannon Slice, was called and said he would pick her up but was told that the facility was putting her in a cab to go home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Elena Moore and her husband, Brannon Slice, are shown in an
