Roy Halladay autopsy shows he had Ambien, amphetamines and morphine in system
The autopsy report for Roy Halladay was released on Friday, and it shows the former pitcher died from blunt force trauma with drowning as a contributing factor following his fatal plane crash on Nov. 7.
The autopsy showed Halladay had a mix of drugs in his body, including morphine, amphetamine, and the sleep medication, Ambien. According to TMZ Sports, the level of Ambien in Halladay’s system surpassed the mark that puts one at risk of a motor vehicle incident.
Videos and witnesses say the former Cy Young Award-winning pitcher was showboating and flying erratically prior to his fatal crash.
The 40-year-old was flying an ICON A5 plane when he died.
