Family Claims Dwayne Haskins Drugged Prior to Fatal Accident
The family of late Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins has filed a lawsuit against several parties, including the state of Florida, claiming he was drugged, robbed, and extorted before being fatally struck on a highway. The lawsuit alleges these events took place at various locations in the hours before the April 9, 2022, accident. The legal action also names the driver and owner of the dump truck that hit him.
Family attorney Rick Ellsley said in a statement,
"Many questions remain unanswered about what happened in the hours before Dwayne was killed. It is believed that Dwayne was targeted and drugged as part of a blackmail and robbery conspiracy. In fact, his highly-expensive watch was stolen from him shortly before his death."
He declined to respond to specific questions regarding the lawsuit's allegations.
Haskins' autopsy revealed a blood-alcohol content of 0.20, 2.5 times the 0.08 legal limit for driving in Florida. The strong painkiller ketamine and its metabolite norketamine were also found in his system. The report does not specify whether the drug was prescribed.
