Jose Fernandez - RIP (confirmed)

[cleo]

He was under the legal limit for alcohol. I don't know how to judge how much coke that is, although it seems like a small amoount. I' guessing both amounts are well within what he is used to, and that he had them in his system while boating probably speak more to his risk-taking state of mind, which led to the tragedy, more than the chemical impairment they had on him.

Fernandez BAL was 0.14 which is almost twice the legal limit. Not that it makes much difference since they have not determined who was operating the boat and I doubt that it was Jose who was driving.

I do find it strange that a MLB player would be out at 3am on the water with .14 BAL and coke in his system and he was in line to start against the Mets in less than 2 days.

had cocaine & booze in him at time of death

And looks like he had more things "detected" than "undetected." Not sure what all the other drugs are, though.

They'er mostly secondary traces of cocaine I think. I only looked up the first one, the benzoylecgonate, and that's what it is.

Yeah, a couple are compounds produced when alcohol and cocaine mix in the liver, it looks like.

Jose Fernandez was piloting the boat according to investigators.

"Fernandez operated the [vessel] with his normal faculties impaired, in a reckless manner, in the darkness of night, in an area with known navigational hazards such as the rock jetties and channel markers," the report noted.

The report stated the watercraft was traveling in excess of 65 miles an hour when it struck a rock jetty near Miami Beach, Florida, on Sept. 25, killing all three people on board.

David Ovalle and Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald previously reported relatives of both Macias and Rivero have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the Fernandez estate in Miami-Dade circuit court on the grounds he "owed his passengers a reasonable degree of care."

none of us wanted this to be the most accurate post in the thread last fall, nor was it intended to be:
