The attorney representing Dwayne Hasksins’s widow, Kalabrya Haskins, released a statement Monday on behalf of his client shortly after a Miami Herald report divulged the circumstances surrounding his death on April 9.
The newspaper obtained the autopsy report released by the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office and it revealed that Haskins’s blood-alcohol level was .20 and the fluid level was .24 at the time of his death. The legal blood alcohol content limit in Florida is .08.
“On behalf of Dwayne’s wife, his family, and his memory, and on behalf of the truth, we respectfully request and pray for privacy, for patience, and for the public to withhold any judgment during this period while the law enforcement authorities continue to investigate and conduct their important work,” Rick Ellsley said in the statement.
