Autopsy: Dwayne Haskins was legally drunk when fatally struck by truck in Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins was legally drunk and had taken drugs before he was fatally struck by a dump truck while walking on a Florida interstate highway last month, an autopsy report released Monday concluded.

The Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office said Haskins’ blood alcohol content was 0.20 when he was fatally struck on Interstate 595 near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport just before dawn on April 9. That’s 2.5 times the 0.08 legal limit for driving in the state.

The report also said Haskins had the strong painkiller ketamine and its metabolite norketamine in his system. The drug can be prescribed by a doctor, but can also be abused recreationally. The report does not say why the former Ohio State University star had it in his system.

The report said investigators found Haskins’ car out of gas near where he was hit. A woman he was with told investigators Haskins, 24, had gone to get fuel. Witnesses said he was trying to wave down cars and standing in the center lane when he was hit by the truck and then an SUV. The report said he died of blunt force trauma. No charges have been filed.

4. Don't get why so many rich athletes drive under the influence

This guy could have afforded to pay someone to chauffeur him any time he wanted to leave the house.

5. We shake our heads at the OSU football players who drive drunk.

Almost anyone in the city of Columbus would drop everything and give them a ride, night or day. No questions asked.

8. He Was Also Likely Cheating On His Wife

His wife, who got a big tattoo on her arm after his death. How Sweet.

There was a woman in the car with him when it broke down. Nothing has been released about who she was, but it wasn't his wife, who was thousands of miles away.
