Dwayne Haskins

Medical examiner determines Haskins had twice the legal limit of alcohol in his blood while attempting to cross interstate before his death in April.

The Florida Highway Patrol determined that Haskins was traveling with a female passenger on April 9 before exiting on foot to find a gas station, according to the medical examiner's investigation report. The investigation report states that Haskins had spent the day prior to the accident, April 8, in Florida training with several of his Steelers teammates, then joined them for dinner. Haskins was also "partially contacted" by a second vehicle as it attempted to swerve around him, according to authorities.

An autopsy report released Monday said Haskins had consumed twice the legal limit of alcohol in Florida before he was hit by a truck on a highway.

Kalabrya Haskins told a 911 dispatcher on calls released in April that his car had run out of fuel and he had left the vehicle searching for gas. In March, the Steelers re-signed him as a restricted free agent, and Haskins was expected to compete for the starting job with Mason Rudolph and Mitchell Trubisky in training camp. A second vehicle also made partial contact after it attempted to swerve around him, the report said. Haskins had been in South Florida training with teammates throughout the week. In two samples, Haskins had a blood-alcohol concentration of .20 percent and .24 percent at the time of his autopsy, according to multiple reports, more than double Florida’s legal limit of .08 percent. The two later separated after getting into a fight, according to reports.
