Lucy-Bleu Knight. Lucy-Bleu Knight“This 25 year old female was found in a residence with suicide notes and evidence of hydrogen sulfide inhalation,” the report read, disclosing her toxicology results tested positive for the presence of thiosulfate.
According to the report, Knight was found on the bathroom floor of her Airbnb. She was scheduled to stay in the unit for four days after checking in on July 15. The property manager attempted to contact her several times.
When they didn’t hear from Knight, the manager checked on her but was “unable to access the front door, which seemed to have resistance when she attempted to open it.”
The property manager contacted emergency services for a welfare check.

When police arrived on the scene, “they also noticed resistance they described as ‘suction’ when opening the front door of the unit. Upon opening the locked door, Officers observed a hand-written sign apparently meant for first responders warning about toxic gas. A chemical scent was also detected by Officers, who immediately backed out of the residence and called for assistance.”
