Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins had a considerable amount of alcohol in his system at the time of his death, with his blood at .20 and another fluid level at .24, according to the autopsy report released by the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday and obtained by the Miami Herald. The legal blood alcohol content limit in Florida is .08.
Haskins was out drinking “heavily” at a nightclub the night before his death, where he reportedly got into a fight and left, according to the report. The quarterback also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine, drugs that can be used as a medical anesthetic but can also be used recreationally.
Haskins was walking on a “limited access facility” at 6:37 a.m. and attempted to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 in Fort Lauderdale when he was struck by a dump truck on April 9, per Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Lt. Indiana Miranda. The 24-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. The medical examiner’s report said Haskins was “reportedly witnessed waving cars down on the shoulder” of I-595 before he was struck.
