Ashley Greene's former building manager 'claims in sworn deposition that crack pipe was found at scene after star's apartment was destroyed by fire'

Ashley Greene's former building manager 'claims in sworn deposition that crack pipe was found at scene after star's apartment was destroyed by fire, Ashley Greene's former building manager claims a crack pipe was found at the scene after her West Hollywood apartment was destroyed by a fire in March last year.

Adrian Mayorga, who is suing the Twilight star for alleged permanent respiratory damage, said in a sworn deposition that one of the men who had helped with the cleanup told him he had found a glass crack pipe in the unit, according to TMZ.
Greene, her boyfriend at the time - alleged to be actor Ryan Phillippe - and her brother were reportedly sleeping in the apartment on March 22 when an unattended candle set a living room couch ablaze.

A source disputed the claim, telling US Weekly that no crack pipe was found at the scene.
'It's all hearsay from unnamed sources - Mayorga's claiming he heard from a friend of an unidentified worker who may have entered the apartment,' said the insider.

The blaze tore through Green's entire apartment and killed one of her two fox terrier dogs.

Mayorga said in his deposition, obtained by TMZ, that he was the first person in the hallway after the fire broke out, and claimed he saw Greene and her companions looking 'disoriented' as they fled the apartment.

He added: 'The only people I saw getting treated was Ashley Greene, her brother Joe Green, and her - the current boyfriend, Ryan Phillippe.'

But sources tell TMZ that Phillippe submitted a sworn declaration to Greene's lawyer this week insisting he wasn't in the apartment when the fire broke out and had in fact never even visited the unit.

Mayorga claimed in court documents filed last year that he was hurt while running through smoky hallways of the apartment building yelling for residents to flee.

He alleged that he suffered exhaustion, dehydration and smoke inhalation and also was hospitalised, according to TMZ.
Greene also has been sued by four residents in neighbouring units who claim the fire caused soot and water damage.

Meanwhile, the apartment was finally sold in July for $1.1 million following some serious renovations costing $303,000, according to TMZ.

TMZ reports that the building HOA’s insurance covered a complete remodel of the 1,800 sq ft apartment to help shift it, although by law the new residents had to be made aware of the incident.
