COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — Potential manslaughter charges against a former Lincoln teen will not be considered until autopsy results have been studied, Kootenai County Prosecutor Bill Douglas said Monday.

Coeur d'Alene police told the Spokane (Wash.) Spokesman Review that 18-year-old Cameron Jester admitted to supplying nearly a dozen hits of the hallucinogen LSD to Gloria Discerni, 18, of Cottage Grove, Ore., at a party.

She died Friday after an apparent LSD overdose put her in a coma Oct. 12. She had willingly drank a glass of orange juice containing 10 to 12 hits of LSD.

Coeur d'Alene police said on Friday afternoon they had recommended the prosecutor file manslaughter charges against Jester.

But Douglas said such a move could be premature.

"We just can't file involuntary manslaughter charges without the forensic autopsy results," Douglas said. "We don't want any surprises. We need the forensic autopsy to determine the exact cause of death and the degree of toxicity in the victim."

Officials want to determine whether Discerni had taken any medications or had any medical conditions that might have contributed to her death.

The autopsy was performed Monday in Spokane, Douglas said.

Tissue and blood samples to determine the level of drugs in Discerni's body will be sent to the Idaho State Crime lab and the Spokane testing firm Pathology Associates. Results may take two to three weeks, Douglas said.

Jester was arrested Tuesday night after helping friends take Discerni to the hospital. He has been held in the Kootenai County Jail on $100,000 bond on two drug charges: delivery of LSD and possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Discerni and Jester, who are North Idaho College freshmen, were at a small party — police say only 4 or 5 people attended — at an apartment building near the campus Oct. 12.

Jester, police say, has said he and Discerni willingly ingested LSD, which was mixed in glasses of orange juice.

Jester attended Lincoln Southeast High School in 2001-02 as a sophomore. His parents live in Lincoln.
