The new report was commissioned by Arthur A. Marshall, the state's attorney who was leading the grand jury investigation of the death. The report concluded that Bias suffered an overdose on 3 to 5 grams of cocaine that could have been dissolved in 12 ounces of soda or beer. The amount of cocaine found in Bias's stomach fluids was ''significant'' and ''far too much to be accounted for by snorting,'' the report said.
This report at the time even had the Bias' parents' backing. Both James and Lonise, Len's parents, were convinced at the time that Len had ingested the fatal dose unknowingly.
