A pedestrian who died when she was swept under a moving light rail train in Denver had alcohol and marijuana in her system, according to toxicology reports.
Jessica “Jessa” Lubken, 26, of Denver, died on Sept. 20 in a light rail accident near the intersection of Welton and 24th streets.
The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner released results of toxicology reports that showed Lubken’s blood alcohol level of “299 mg/dl,” or 0.29, the coroner’s office said.
A blood alcohol level of 0.08 is legally intoxicated.
The report also showed a “positive” for marijuana.
Lubken, a bartender, had worked at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret downtown, among other jobs. She had been celebrating her birthday the day of the incident.
Denver police investigators who looked into Lubken’s death ruled it an accident.
