Nicholson’s manager said Crabbe and others were at Nicholson’s home when Crabbe apparently became unconscious and unresponsive.
Nicholson and another man reportedly brought Crabbe to the Inova Emergency Room-Ashburn HealthPlex on Landmark Court in Ashburn at about 1:30 a.m. on Thursday. TMZ reports that the search warrant states, "Hospital staff reported that Miss Crabbe appeared to be deceased during the extraction from the Nissan Armada" and that after Crabbe was removed from the vehicle, the two men "exited the area."

Nicholson’s manager previously disputed the claim that Nicholson exited the area after dropping her off, stating that the football player stayed at the hospital with Crabbe until a portion of her family arrived. Crabbe was pronounced dead in the emergency room.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said indications were that Crabbe suffered from an overdose. The medical examiner’s office said the cause and manner of death were pending.
Nicholson is reportedly cooperating with investigators and has not been named as a suspect or accused of any wrongdoing.

Crabbe’s mother told FOX 5 she believes Nicholson could have handled the situation differently.
“His actions, he could have handled it differently. Would it have changed anything? We don’t know. He could have handled it differently,” she told FOX 5's Tisha Lewis.
Crabbe’s mother also gave insight into her daughter’s relationship with Nicholson.
“They were not boyfriend and girlfriend," she said. "They were simply seeing each other but there was no definition."
Crabbe reportedly worked at an area fitness club and recently deciding to pursue a career in modeling.
