Woman hangs self after Alabama rock concert

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA - Officials say a Minnesota woman who had been following a popular Athens, Georgia band from city to city hanged herself at a hotel after a concert. <br> <br> Twenty-four-year-old Jennifer Susan Moe used a hotel shower curtain to hang herself from a second-story balcony at a Red Roof Inn after attending a concert by Widespread Panic, says Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Jay Glass. <br> <br> Moe&#39;s friends told police she had been smoking marijuana, drinking alcohol and taking Ecstasy and cocaine. She was discovered at about 9:30 a.m. Saturday, suspended from the outside railing at the rear of the hotel. She left no suicide note. <br> <br> Authorities said Moe wasn&#39;t registered at the hotel. She went there to party with friends after Friday night&#39;s concert at Oak Mountain Amphitheater. <br> <br> In a separate incident, police said 29-year-old Erica Young of Chattanooga died Saturday night after taking Ecstasy during a Widespread Panic concert. Shelby County Coroner Doug Ballard Junior said yesterday it appeared Young died of a drug overdose. <br> <br> About 200 people were arrested on drug charges during a three-night undercover crackdown at the series of rock concerts. Police cracked down on Widespread Panic fans during a Savannah concert last week, mostly for drug offenses.
