Rachel Daggett, who had just turned 18 and was a senior at Sam Barlow High School, was found dead in a Gresham home early Monday morning when paramedics were called.

The resident of the home, a 21-year-old male, had been evicted and was supposed to be out the morning paramedics were called.  Witnesses say that he had a party the night before, and it appears that Rachel Daggett attended.

The cause of her death is unclear, as there were no signs of foul play, and an autopsy done today didn’t reveal any clues.  Officials are waiting on toxicology reports to learn more, but they may take several weeks to arrive.   Until then, Rachel’s family is left with an emptiness that used to be filled by a happy, hyper, fun-loving, beautiful teen girl.

Everyone who knows Rachel says that she was always happy, upbeat, and not the kind of girl who would be drinking and using drugs at parties.  Friends are shocked at her death, and all say that she made the world a much better place.

Gresham Police are asking for anyone who may have information in the death of Rachel Daggett to call 503-618-2330 during business hours, or 503-618-2719 at night or on the weekends.
