A coroner ruled that the death of former NFL running back and Heisman Trophy winner Rashaan Salaam was a suicide.
The Boulder County Coroner's Office in Colorado said that an autopsy showed the cause of Salaam's death was a gunshot wound to the head.
The report, obtained by the Denver Post, said Salaam had a blood-alcohol level reading of 0.25, which is more than three times the legal driving limit in Colorado. Salaam also had marijuana in his system at the time of his death.
Salaam, 42, was found dead in a park in Boulder, Colo.
