MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Toxicology reports released Saturday in the death of Jose Fernandez have revealed the star pitcher used alcohol and cocaine just before crashing his boat off Miami Beach.
The violent crash killed Fernandez and two friends, Eduardo Rivero, 25, and Emilio Macias last month.
Reports show Fernandez’s blood alcohol was at 0.147, nearly twice the legal limit, and he had cocaine in his system at the time of his death.
Both Macias and Rivero were found to be under the legal limit for alcohol. Rivero’s blood alcohol content was .06%, but he also had cocaine in his system.
