MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Authorities say an 18 -year-old girl died
Saturday night after attending her North St. Paul High School prom.
Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell said Sunday that officers were
called to a residence on the 2300 block of Schadt Drive at 11:08 p.m.
Saturday. When officers arrived, they found an 18-year-orld girl
unresponsive. First responders attempted to resuscitate the girl and she
was transported to WoodWinds Hospital in Woodbury, where she was
pronounced dead a short time later.
Authorities identified the girl Sunday as Anna Jaskulka and confirmed that

she was consuming alcohol. Authorities are also looking into if other
substances were involved in her death.
