tennisluvrredux Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 A 21-year-old student at the University of New Orleans was dropped off unresponsive at a hospital and was declared dead — after taking an Uber following a night out on the town with friends during Mardi Gras, according to reports. Ciaya Jordan Whetstone, of Bamberg, South Carolina, attended Mardi Gras parades Friday with friend Juliet Orr before she went to a bar with some other pals, the New Orleans Advocate reported. Whetstone was later driven by a friend to her boyfriend’s home in the suburb of Hanrahan — then took an Uber to her apartment in Gentilly to check on her dog in the middle of the night, Orr told the news outlet. Her roommate, Reese White, said that Whetstone told her she was going with the driver — whom she described as a friend — to “go find her car.” Ciaya Jordan Whetstone was pronounced dead after she was brought to a New Orleans hospital. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan “I tried to convince her not to go,” White told the paper Sunday. Another pal, Roberto Torres, said that when he called Whetstone around 1:30 a.m. Saturday, he overheard the driver ask her, “Do you like to party?” She reportedly told Torres that she’d call him back — but never did. Ciaya Jordan Whetstone took an Uber to her apartment in Gentilly to check on her dog in the middle of the night. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan Whetstone was dropped off about 7 a.m. at a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to the Advocate, which reported that it was unclear who dropped her off there. Police said she arrived via “private conveyance,” a term used in cases where an ambulance isn’t involved. No cause for her death has been released. Chris Ferrand, Whetstone’s stepfather, told the outlet that the family is “still in such a shock,” adding, “We’ve got a tough few days ahead of us.” It was unclear who dropped Ciaya Jordan Whetstone off at the hospital. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan Whetstone’s close friend Julia Brooker described her as “the most uplifting and loving and hopeful person that I’ve met.” “She’s never talked bad about anybody,” she said. Dawn Gegenheimer, who identified herself as Whetstone’s co-worker in a Facebook post on Saturday, wrote: “She had the cutest East Coast accent you ever heard.” University officials said Whetstone was a business administration junior who was set to graduate in 2023. Ciaya Whetstone attended Mardi Gras parades Friday with a friend before she went to a bar with some other pals. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan “As a University, few things are more challenging than dealing with the sadness of the death of a student. Our thoughts are with Ciaya’s family and friends,” school president John Nicklow said in a statement, according to WVUE. “We are offering counseling services to students and employees who need support,” he added. Fellow students expressed their shock about the death. “Hearing stuff like that, about a fellow student, exacerbates that fear and anxiety of leaving my house,” UNO junior Amanda Nadeau told WJBF, referring to a recent spike in crime. Ciaya Whetstone was a business administration junior who was set to graduate in 2023. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan Another junior, Maddie Sampay, said: “Hearing things that happened, especially to women nowadays, it’s just scary going anywhere by yourself, so I always have someone with me.” Whetstone’s cousin Emily Carter told WIS-TV she “was like this bright light in a dark place. She was always happy. She never met a stranger.” She said: “That girl was so brave. If there was something that she wanted, she would go get it. I mean, she moved by herself from little swamp to New Orleans. “It makes me feel happy to know how loved she was, and it makes me happy to know that she impacted people so greatly,” Carter added.

I just pray she didn’t suffer and I just hope we get the justice she deserves,” Sutton added. “I just asked God, ‘Why, why, why, why, why her?’ I just still feel so numb.” The grieving relative said she received the final text message from Whetstone two days before she died. “You’ve been on my mind heavy lately. Maybe it’s a sign from God, but I wanted to let you know, I miss you so much,” Whetstone wrote, according to Sutton. Ciaya Whetstone (right) was picked up by an Uber early on February 19, 2022, and was dropped off at a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The student’s cousin Grace Sutton said she received the final text message from Whetstone two days before she died. Family Handout “She was just the most perfect friend and best cousin. We were the same age and she always would talk to me when I needed her. She never met a stranger, loved everyone and was the most fearless person I’ve ever met. She had the strongest relationship with God,” she said. “We just want, really just want answers. We just want answers and wanna know what happened,” Mari added. Meanwhile, Whetstone’s friends in her hometown of Bamberg, South Carolina, are mourning the loss. According to friends, Whetstone “was just a super safe person and very precautious.” Family Handout “Ciaya was just a really good person, she did not deserve this, by any means,” longtime pal Kassidy Crosby told WJBF. “Her dad and my dad were best friends my whole life so we’ve always been really close.” Crosby, who graduated from his school together with Whetstone, added: “She just had the most kind heart and free spirit and she was just like a really good person. She had a really good relationship with God.” Another friend, Cailynn Morris, also reflected on Whetstone’s faith. Whetstone was dropped off about 7 a.m. at a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Facebook / Ciaya Jordan “When Ciaya went to bed at night, she prayed. When she woke up in the morning, she prayed. She would talk to God just throughout her day,” she told the outlet. Crosby noted that Whetstone “was just a super safe person. She was always the one to make sure I got home safe. She was just very precautious.” Whetstone reportedly attended Mardi Gras parades Friday with friend Juliet Orr before she went to a bar with some other pals.
