Thunder Co-Owner Aubrey McClendon's Death Ruled Accidental

Aubrey McClendon, who was the co-owner of the Oklahoma City Thunder, died in a car crash on March 2, and the Oklahoma medical examiner’s office declared on Wednesday that it was an accident, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN.com).

The office released an eight-page autopsy report that listed “multiple blunt force trauma as the cause of death,” according to the Associated Press. It also said McClendon had “traces of a drug in his system commonly used in sleep aids” but no alcohol.

The Associated Press noted that Wednesday’s report followed Tuesday’s statement from police that “said there wasn’t enough evidence to prove whether the crash was intentional.
