The Long Island dermatologist and married mom whose body was found in the doorway of a Chelsea apartment building died of “acute cocaine and alcohol intoxication,” according to an autopsy report Monday.
“The manner of death is accident,” the city Medical Examiner’s Office added.
Dr. Kiersten Rickenbach Cerveny, a 38-year-old mother of three, was found unconscious early on Oct. 4 with her feet propping open the door of 223 W. 16th St. She was rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police sources have said Cerveny went on a drug binge with married HBO producer Marc Henry Johnson, 51, before she collapsed.
She and Johnson, a longtime pal, allegedly met up during Cerveny’s wild girls’ night out on the Lower East Side. The group was partying hard until 2:30 in the morning. Then, at around 3 a.m., Cerveny and Johnson peeled off to go to his dealer’s apartment on West 16th Street, sources said.
After Cerveny collapsed, Johnson and the dealer, ex-con James Holder, carried her to the front of the building and left her there, sources said.
Holder fled, and Johnson called 911 before running off himself, they said.
Police said Monday that they don’t expect to make any arrests in the case.

The contrast between her life and death could not be more stark: The beautiful, successful blond doctor, a married mother of three, found lying in the vestibule of a strange apartment building, underwear stashed in her handbag, dying of a likely drug overdose.
To her family and friends, Kiersten Rickenbach Cerveny had it all.
“This was so out of character . . . I know this was atypical,” one said.

Facebook
But then, these days, the gap between the person we are and the person we present to the world has never been wider.
There are 80 million photos posted in Instagram a day. Facebook has 1.49 billion active users per month. Twitter has 316 million active accounts; Tumblr 230 million. Pinterest has 47.66 million unique visitors from the US alone and is the fastest-growing independent site in history.
Increasingly, most of us are living two lives: one online, one off. And studies show that this makes us more vulnerable to depression, loneliness and low self-worth.
[. . .]
“There is an anti-social media movement on the horizon,” Current executive Amy Colton told Adweek. “Moms, especially young moms, are feeling pressured to present a perfect life . . . and starting to feel overwhelmed and annoyed.”
[. . .]
On Jan. 14, 2014, Madison posted a photo of trees strung with lights, bulbs glowing against the twilight. An hour later, she leapt to her death from the ninth floor of a parking garage.She was 19 years old
[. . .]
On Oct. 3, after telling her husband she was going into the city for a girls’ night out, Kiersten met up with friends at a hotel at 6:30 p.m. The group then went drinking on the Lower East Side. They were out till 2:30 in the morning, drinking hard and allegedly using cocaine.
At 3 a.m., Kiersten peeled off with Marc Henry Johnson, a 51-year-old producer for HBO. She had known him since 2009 — 10 months before she married for the second time.
By 4 a.m., they were in a cab on the way to Chelsea, and the two went up to the cabdriver’s apartment.
Kiersten’s body was found at 8:30 that morning, sprawled in the vestibule, her feet propping the door open. Video showed Johnson and the driver dragging her body down the building’s stairs, leaving her to die alone.
[. . .]
Yet Karina Freedman, a skin-care specialist with a large clientele in Kiersten’s Manhasset neighborhood, says many of these women are, in fact, leading double lives.
“So many of the husbands work late hours and their wives are home alone,” she tells The Post. “So, on weekends, it’s common for them to go out to bars and clubs in the city without their husbands. Many of the women in Manhasset are partiers.”
But you’d probably never be able to tell online.

Facebook can be depressing because everyone else's lives are better than yours... But are they really?
