Savannah Chrisley’s late ex-fiancé, Nic Kerdiles, reportedly had alcohol in his system when he died from a fatal motorcycle accident earlier this year.
According to an autopsy report obtained by TMZ on Thursday, November 16, the Nashville medical examiner found evidence of ethanol in Kerdiles’ bloodstream after toxicology tests were completed. The report estimated that Kerdiles’ blood alcohol level was about 0.124%. (The legal limit for persons over the age of 21 is 0.08%.)
The medical examiner found Kerdiles’ cause of death to be multiple blunt traumatic injuries and ruled it accidental, per the outlet.
In late September, TMZ broke the news that Kerdiles died at age 29 after suffering injuries from an early-morning crash. The former hockey player allegedly ran through a stop sign and crashed his motorcycle into the side of a BMW sedan. Police transported both drivers to a local hospital, shortly before Kerdiles was pronounced dead.
