Clark County coroner Melanie Rouse said Tuesday that Tina Tintor, the 23-year-old woman who died in the Nov. 2 car crash involving former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III, burned to death.
Rouse said Tintor "died from thermal injuries due to a motor vehicle collision" and that "other significant conditions contributing to her death were inhalation of products of combustion, fractures of the nasal bones, right-sided ribs ... left forearm and (chest)," per Ken Ritter of the Associated Press.
Ritter noted Ruggs is alleged to have been driving up to 156 mph before slamming into the back of Tintor's car.
