Alabama's Aaron Douglas died from drug overdose

Former Tennessee and Alabama offensive lineman Aaron Douglas had drugs Methadone, Diazepam and Carisoprodol in his system when he died, according to a Duval County (Fla.) medical examiner’s statement cited by multiple media outlets.

Douglas died May 12 during a holiday in Florida. An autopsy conducted the followed date ruled the death accidental by way of “multiple drug toxicity.”

Douglas attended a gathering the night earlier than his death, according to police. He was found the next morning on a balcony.

Methadone, often used to aid healing from opium addiction, is a pain reliever. Diazepam, better known as Vallium, helps with anxiety. Carisoprodol is prescribed to help with muscle pain.

Douglas was a freshman All-American in 2009 for the Volunteers earlier than transferring to a junior college after much of the Tennessee coaching staff left for USC. He enrolled at Alabama this winter and was estimated to win a starting job during preseason camp.
