What happened to the real Lisa Rowe from book Girl Interrupted?

There is no real "Lisa Rowe" from the book "Girl, Interrupted" by Susanna Kaysen.

"Girl, Interrupted" is a memoir, meaning it recounts the author's own experiences. Susanna Kaysen herself was the patient at McLean Hospital, and the book is a fictionalized account of her time there.

While some characters in the book are based on real people, like Susanna's friend "Daisy" who was inspired by a real person named Lisa, the character of "Lisa Rowe" is completely fictional.

Therefore, there is no "real Lisa Rowe" to speak of.
