Default search of purse

Can the police search the purse of someone without their consent due to unconsciousness? During the search a small amount of marijuana was found.
No charges have been filed yet due to the officer being out of town for a few days. The police claimed they were looking for the woman's ID even though the people she was with at the time knew her identity.

They can if they needed to ID her or had other emergency reasons.

She can try fighting it, but it will not be easy in these circumstances.
