OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The fiery car crash in which energy industry magnate Aubrey McClendon died was an accident, the Oklahoma medical examiner's office ruled Wednesday, also noting that he had traces of a drug in his system commonly used in sleep aids.
The eight-page autopsy report shows the 56-year-old suffered numerous broken bones and other serious injuries in the March 2 crash and that his body was badly burned after he died. The report, which comes a day after police said there wasn't enough evidence to prove whether the crash was intentional, lists multiple blunt force trauma as the cause of death.
Besides traces of the antihistamine doxylamine, there were no other drugs or alcohol in his system, the report said.
The crash happened the day after the former Chesapeake Energy CEO and part-owner of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder was indicted by a federal grand jury for bid rigging, leading to speculation of a possible suicide.
