DENVER (AP) — An autopsy by doctors who examined the body of the man suspected of killing Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements and Denver pizza delivery driver Nathan Leon found anti-anxiety medication in his system.
The autopsy report confirms that Evan Ebel died as a result of a gunshot to the forehead. Texas sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Ebel on March 21 as he opened fire during a wild chase and shootout. Authorities say he was on the run after the killings, but it is unclear why he headed to Texas.
The Denver Post (http://tinyurl.com/lrz9he6 ) obtained the report Monday through an open-records request.
