Former NFL quarterback Steve McNair’s blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit when he was shot and killed by his mistress in a murder/suicide, the state’s assistant medical examiner said on Monday.
Sahel “Jenni” Kazemi, the 20-year old woman who shot McNair and then herself, had a small amount of marijuana in her system, Dr. Feng Li said, according to the Tennessean newspaper.
The bodies of McNair and Kazemi were found July 4 at a Second Avenue condo the former Tennessee Titan rented with a friend. Investigators say McNair was sleeping on his couch when Kazemi shot him four times before ending her life.
Kazemi was facing a DUI charge after a July 2 traffic stop with McNair in the passenger seat. The video of her traffic stop includes her admission that she was high at the time.
