Socialite Elisabeth Kieselstein Cord has died

And just like that...

Super unlikely that Lyme would kill unexpectedly if there were not some known longstanding complication.

The cocaine on the east end has recently reported to be contaminated with lethal doses of fentanyl. That’s my guess.

She's got a 90's supermodel look going on, sort of a mix between Niki Taylor and Cindy Crawford.

Socialites don't exist anymore. Oh no siree. Now back in the day those were real socialites. They were women with class. Classy women.

I'll say something nice: I appreciate a socialite I've never heard of.

Lyme? Is that the new word for exhaustion?

She was very big in the early 2000s.

I'm glad she lost the weight before she died. Everyone should know that happiness.

At least she left a skinny corpse!!

Sounds like an episode of Inspector Morse.

Call Jessica Fletcher!

That name is right out of central casting.

I got a few of her dads belts when my dad died but I never wear them. Gaudy, enormous buckles.

Will the family keep her nose as a charm on a bracelet?

Thank you, Tony. That made such a difference.

Anorexia?

Not to be unkind, but utterly unremarkable and unnecessary of a thread.

I told you Lyme is serious and not some Munchie Moochie thing!

The Fibromyalgia was so blue that day.

Will the park have slides and swings?

I really believed in Lyme as a thing when I saw the Kathleen Hanna documentary (she seemed to have legitimate medical problems), but now any mention of Lyme makes me think someone has mental issues.

It strikes me as a bit…odd to announce your child has died and then instead of saying you’re building a park in her memory, you say the park is in memory of other people whose children died.

Seems a bit strange - maybe this poor woman had some other health problems as well?

More importantly, will there be a Ramble?

My friend's niece died from Lyme disease. She had an extreme case (I assume) where it affected her joints and mobility. She couldn't work. I think she had it approx 10 years. I know she also texted positive for rocky mountain spotted fever too. I don't know what effect that had. She died in her sleep and there were no rumors that it was an OD. Also, in her 40s.

But was she a socialite?

"I DON'T KNOW HER" WHO IS SHE?

More importantly, won't it attract Lyme disease-bearing deer?

Was she one of Ramona Singer's closest girlfriends?

RIP but for some reason her name annoys me

This thread reminds of that time we were invited to share memories of some obscure Belgian princess who none of us had ever heard of.

RIP, what'syernames.

Yeah, there was a scene where she was out of it after taking her medication and another scene where Adam is giving her a shot in her arm. Irene from the Real World Seattle also has Lyme but based on the way I remember her on the show (not including the slap) she also seems like she has mental health issues.

r4 What is the definition or criteria for being classed as a socialite?

She was social-Lite.

R33 for starters they need to be able to clutch pearls

Hmm this could be more likely a cause of death than Lyme

NY Times

The Cocaine Was Laced With Fentanyl. Now Six Are Dead From Overdoses.

The deaths over three days in Suffolk County reflect a dangerous shift in the street-drug marketplace, according to police and prosecutors.

SOUTHOLD, N.Y. — The 911 calls to the Southold Town Police Department began to pour in on a Wednesday. And for three days they did not stop.

Female, 34, Greenport Village, unresponsive.

Male, 25, Southold, unresponsive.

Male, 30, Southold, unresponsive.

Male, 27, Greenport Village, unresponsive.

Male, 32, East Marion, unresponsive.

Male, 40, Shelter Island, unresponsive.

By Friday at least eight people in the string of small towns along Long Island’s North Fork had overdosed, and six of them — none older than 40 — were dead. Their deaths were caused, police said, by cocaine laced with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that can be 50 times more powerful than heroin.

Exactly R36. If she was decompensating, why was she not taken to a hospital? So she had an acute event - suicide/overdose.

r21 I saw the Kathleen Hanna doc, and that's exactly when I linked Lyme disease to mental illness. Of course she conveniently caught the "disease" after she married the lead Beastie Boy and secured her financial future. Kathleen is madder than a box of frogs.

... of the Hamptonsh Cord Hammsh?

Omg details pls R38.

Who’s getting her stuff?

Lyme is the new Chronic Fatigue soon to be replaced by long haul Covid. The excuse for all the fraus to have an excuse not to fuck their husbands.

Came here to say R19 wins the internet this week.

Is the casket covered in black alligator with sterling silver serpent handles?

I’m so sorry to hear of her passing. Her parents must be devastated, especially her mom, whom she was quite close to all of her life.

Her name was epic. Please watch this clip, it is very funny.

Tick-bitten decaying-for-a-decade dead socialite gets memorial park for her trouble.

What was her sobriquet?

Socialite? She ain't no Kitty Carlisle

I once lived for 2 years in Tegucigalpa Honduras. I taught at an Embassy school, with many of the countries children of the "elite", and some of their mothers were knows as "socialites". They even had a monthly glossy magazine that highlighted their lifestyles, homes, parties, children, and charity work. They sent their kids to the states for college, bodyguards, armored cars, all that. Same in Lagos Nigeria. One of the poorest most violent counties in the world. People even called them socialites, like it was their job. It's all relative I guess. This lady hung out too much in Connecticut and actually caught Lyme Disease is my guess. Or yeah, fentanyl and Lyme Disease.

You bitches are rough. Or just provincial.

Do we know why she died yet?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Lessons learned from dear old Mom: "You can never be too rich or too thin."

Sadly, she forgot to say, "Being too thin can make you too dead."

Has the cause of death been released yet?

My partner’s brother is a successful radiologist. His (now ex) wife had never worked in 20 years of marriage, and contracted Lyme 7-8 years ago. She quite literally didn’t get out of the bed more days than not. She lost a lot of weight, chopped her hair off, and looked horrible..her skin turned a dull gray color. She was resentful that he wasn’t around the house more often. They divorced last year and she magically recovered. She now has an active social life, does orange theory, and went back to college. It’s absolutely bizarre, and now I think that it was just depression. Is it that easy to get a doctor to diagnose Lyme disease?

^ I have a cousin who is my age and when we were kids he was diagnosed with Lyme. He stopped growing at age ten! He is literally five feet tall in his 40s and everyone in my family blames Lyme.
