Autopsy: Fernandez drunk, had cocaine in blood when he died

A toxicology report released Saturday by the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's Office showed Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez was drunk by nearly double the legal limit and had cocaine in his blood when he died along with two friends in a September boating accident:

Fernandez had a blood-alcohol level of 0.147, which was well above the legal limit of 0.08.

The news comes three days after it was reported Fernandez, Emilio Jesus Macias, and Eduardo Rivero gave off a "strong odor of alcohol" when they were discovered dead after Fernandez's boat crashed into a jetty just after 3 a.m. ET on Sept. 25.

Neither Macias or Rivero were legally drunk, but Rivero had cocaine in his system, reports David Ovalle of The Miami Herald.

Investigators allegedly found evidence that the driver of the boat was travelling at a high speed with "recklessness" that was "exacerbated by the consumption of alcohol."

There hasn't been any confirmation if Fernandez was the driver of the vessel, although acquaintances of the deceased pitcher reportedly suspect he was driving.

Fernandez, Macias, and Rivero were seen at American Social Bar & Kitchen prior to the accident, and a time- and date-stamped receipt from the bar with alcohol purchases on it were found in the pocket of one of the men after the accident.
