Jennifer Lopez, 18, of Manhattan, and Caitlyn O'Rourke, 21, of Patterson, New York, also face the same charge, according to NYPD Lieutenant John Grimpel.

A spokesman for the Morris County Prosecutor's Office would not say whether his office would file separate charges against the three charged in New York. He said said the NYPD was leading the investigation.

A cause of death has not yet been established, Grimpel said.
