Will Smith's BAC Reportedly Nearly Triple Legal Limit on Night of Death

On the evening of April 9 when he was shot and killed, former New Orleans Saints defensive end Will Smith reportedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.235, almost three times the legal limit of 0.08.

Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reported the news Wednesday, citing a toxicology report that hasn't been released to the public. NOLA.com first reported the news, per Triplett.

Smith was fatally shot in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans nearly two months ago. He was 34 years old.

The former first-round draft pick out of Ohio State played all nine of his full NFL seasons with the Saints, serving as a key player on the franchise's Super Bowl XLIV-winning team.
