Toxicology Report Shows Miami Marlins Pitcher Jose Fernandez Had Cocaine, Alcohol In System Before Fatal Boating Accident


Fernandez boat was called 'Kaught Looking' and it sounds like that's exactly how he died.

Story out of Miami, Florida:

Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez had cocaine and alcohol in his system when his boat crashed into a Miami Beach jetty, according to toxicology reports released Saturday.

It’s not clear whether Fernandez was driving when the boat crashed Sept. 25, killing the 24-year-old major league all-star and two of his friends. But Fernandez had a blood-alcohol content level of 0.147, well above Florida’s legal limit of 0.08, according to autopsy reports released by the Miami-Dade County medical examiner’s office.

Associate medical examiner Kenneth Hutchins listed the cause of death as “boat crash” for Fernandez, 27-year-old Emilio Jesus Macias and 25-year-old Eduardo Rivero. Each man had suffered blunt force injuries to his head and body, Hutchins wrote.

Toxicology reports showed both Macias and Rivero also had alcohol levels below the state’s legal limit, while Rivero also had cocaine in his system.

U.S. Coast Guard officials have said they’ll examine lighting at the South Beach jetty where the boat crashed. Fernandez, the National League rookie of the year in 2013 and a two-time all-star, owned the 32-foot SeaVee named Kaught Looking. Cont.
