Guilty plea in Mt. Prospect student's overdose death

Supplying a Mount Prospect college student with heroin that caused her fatal overdose in 2008 resulted in a four-year prison sentence for Andrew Hall Monday.

Hall, 22, pleaded guilty to delivery of a controlled substance in connection with the death of Gina Dominick last summer.

Dominick, 20, took the drug along with a friend, Thomas Young, 22, at his Prospect Heights house.

Her body was found by a passer-by June 29, 2008, in the parking lot of the Prospect Heights Public Library.

Authorities contend that after taking the heroin, Young fell asleep and woke up later to find Dominick unconscious in the bathroom. Believing her to be dead, he drove her body to the library.

Hall had lived in Mount Prospect but moved to Arizona in 2008. He was extradited in October. He originally faced charges of drug-induced homicide.

Dominick attended St. Raymond Elementary School in Mount Prospect and was a graduate of Prospect High School.

She worked at a number of local restaurants after high school and had completed a year at Harper College when she died. Friends said she planned to return to college in fall of 2008 and had hopes of becoming a medical technician or working with animals.

Hall, who had attended school with Dominick, was sentenced by Judge John Scotillo at the Rolling Meadows courthouse.

Young has been charged with concealing a homicide,
