On the day of the Maiden's death, the drugs would make her obey any command, rendering her unconscious.

This theory can be seen in the relaxed and seated position of the Maiden when she was mummified. Maiden left and was frozen with her head still wearing a feathered headdress and coca leaves still in her mouth when she was found in 1999.

The consumption of food and drink is not appropriate for a child of The Maiden's age. However, Inca ideology made coca and alcohol part of sacred rituals and substances, possibly impairing the health and sobriety of young victims, and could make them more receptive to a grim fate.

When found, The Maiden and her young companions were at an altitude of approximately 6,739 meters above the summit of the mountain, in extremely cold conditions.
