The Tennessean reported on Tuesday that form NFL quarterback Steve McNair’s blood-alcohol level was twice Tennessee’s legal limit for driving when he was murdered by his girlfriend, Sahel Kazemi, 20.

Medical examiner, Dr. Feng Li said McNair’s blood-alcohol level was .16 and Kazemi had traces of marijuana in her system.

Two days prior to the murder-suicide on July 4, in which Kazemi shot McNair and then turned the gun on herself, she was stopped by police for driving under the influence and told them she was high, not drunk. To see video of the DUI stop, click here
