 | | Nineteen-year-old Joseph Grassi, who accompanied Lyons to the Tunnel just before midnight Saturday, January 23, and Amy Lebrecht, 18, another friend who was at the club that night, both told police that the five-foot-five-inch, 100-pound Lyons— called "Shorty" by buddies— abused steroids and had a pre-exisiting heart condition. |
 | | The picture that Newfield allowed Margaret Lyons to paint of the Tunnel was misleading— though drug use is evident, dealers do not walk around the premises touting wares on serving trays, as she claimed. |
 | | If he did in fact purchase Ecstasy in the Tunnel, he may not have realized that the E sold in clubs these days is often adulterated with everything from horse tranquilizer to crystal methamphetamine, potentially lethal ingredients for anyone with a coronary problem. |
