According to the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office, Haskins’ blood alcohol content was 0.20 when he was fatally struck.  That’s 2.5 times the 0.08 legal limit for driving in the state.

His body also tested positive for ketamine and norketamine – anesthetic drugs.

The report said investigators found Haskins’ car out of gas near where he was hit. A woman he was with told investigators Haskins had gone to get fuel after he ran out. Witnesses told officials he was trying to wave down cars and standing in the center lane when he was hit by the truck and then an SUV. The report said he died of blunt force trauma. No charges have been filed.

The Steelers told investigators that Haskins had no mental health issues and had never made any suicidal threats. They said he sometimes drank heavily and sometimes used marijuana, but was not known to use any other recreational drugs. The medical examiner ruled the death an accident.

His wife called 911 from Pittsburgh to say he was not answering his phone after he told her he ran out of gas.
The report shows the cause of death as blunt force trauma, and the manner was accidental.
