Santana_89 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 contributed to Adams' death. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81661bc4&template=with-video&confirm=true Posted about 6 hours ago Coroner: Nothing in toxicology report contributed to Adams' death Associated Press GREENWOOD, S.C. -- A toxicology report shows that Chicago Bears defensive end Gaines Adams had marijuana and alcohol in his system when he died. However, Greenwood County Coroner Jim Coursey said nothing found in the report contributed to Adams' death. The report showed Adams had a blood-alcohol level of 0.021 percent. That's well below the 0.08 percent at which South Carolina drivers are considered intoxicated. The toxicology report was obtained by The Index-Journal of Greenwood through a Freedom of Information Act request, and the results were published in Saturday's newspaper. Adams, a 26-year-old former Clemson standout, died Jan. 17 in Greenwood. An autopsy showed the cause of death to be a heart attack caused by an enlarged heart. Coursey repeatedly has said nothing found in the toxicology report contributed to Adams' death. __________________________________ It is my hope that the NFL will require a battery of tests that will look for undiagnosed heart aliments in the player, during their annual physicals. Perhaps this may save another life or two:(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
