McNair was Intoxicated When Killed


The Assistant State Medical Examiner in Tennessee has published the toxicology report on Steve McNair at the time he was shot and killed and the report was...well a bit surprising.


McNair's Blood Alcohol level was listed as being around a .16 which is twice the amount considered an impairment to drive. The woman who killed McNair and then herself, Sahel Kazemi had a small amount of Marijuana in her system as well.

The story from the Tennessean here .

It doesn't totally explain what happened in the apartment that morning/overnight, but it may explain why McNair was soundly sleeping on the couch at the time he was shot. As for Kazemi, she was arrested for DUI only a couple of days before and in the video of the traffic stop admitted she wasn't drunk, she was high.
