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 report cited by multiple media outlets.
Douglas died May 12 during a vacation in Florida. An autopsy conducted the followed day ruled the death accidental by way of “multiple drug toxicity.”

Methadone, often used to aid recovery 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 before transferring to a junior college after much of the Tennessee coaching staff left for USC. He enrolled at Alabama this winter and was expected to win a starting job during preseason camp.
