No traces of alcohol or drugs have been found in the blood of the helicopter pilot who crashed and died together with basketball legend Kobe Bryant. The autopsy of pilot Ara Zobayan’s body revealed that.
“Toxicology studies have not detected the presence of alcohol or drug use. Testing has included tests for benzodiazepines, cocaine, fentanyl, heroin, marijuana, opioids, phencyclidine, and amphetamines,” said TMZ in the report.
Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash on January 26 with eight other occupants. In addition to the 41-year-old NBA star player, his thirteen-year-old daughter Gianna was also among the killed occupants. They were on their way to a Gianna basketball tournament in Los Angeles.
The helicopter collided with a hill. According to the report, the helicopter flew at a speed of 296 kilometers per hour in foggy weather. Previous research has already shown that the device dropped more than 600 meters within a minute.
The report also confirms that Bryant died immediately from many injuries all over his body. Traces of methylphenidate, a drug prescribed for ADHD and narcolepsy, have been found in the former Los Angeles Lakers star player.
The other eight occupants also died immediately, according to the investigation.
