<p>Just heard on the news that “the USC kicker who drove off a cliff…” was found to have 3x the legal limit of alcohol in his blood. How very sad. I was also surprised that a car was involved? All the new I had heard before just stated that “he” was found and no mention of an auto accident.</p>
<p>They just used the legal driving limit as an example, to give perspective into how drunk he was. There wasn’t a car or drunk driving involved.</p>
<p>It’s sad, but at least the family has some closure now, and they know it was a tragic accident and not anything else (albeit a good lesson to everyone to not be intoxicated around cliffs)</p>
<p>Thanks for clearing that up.</p>

<p>Now, there’s a surprise…</p>
<p>"AP --LOS ANGELES - Southern California kicker Mario Danelo was drunk when he plunged over a cliff to his death, but the coroner’s office Monday was unable to say why he fell.</p>
<p>A toxicological report accompanying Danelo’s autopsy report found he had 0.23 blood-alcohol level, nearly three times the legal limit in California. No drugs were detected in his body, the report said.</p>
<p>The autopsy report said the cause of death was multiple traumatic injuries, but “because of the unanswered questions, we are stating the manner of death as undetermined,” Deputy Medical Examiner Jeffrey Gutstadt of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office wrote in the report.

<p>IMO, it would be very unusual for someone at that BAC to be alone at a place like that. Is it walking distance from where he was staying? Was his car found nearby? I wonder how he got there and where he was immediately prior to getting there?</p>

<p>I think the little park along the cliffs was walking distance from the kid’s family home. Was he alone? Who knows?</p>
