My question would be why someone would take the time to convert an ethanol level to a blood alcohol level without explanation....... would ethanol more likely be in something that was consumed or in a fuel mixture that was contained in the car and possibly dispersed during the accident....... if it is in fact the latter, I would find it irresponsible to make the intial conversion, and then publish a report indicating that there was alcohol present because of that conversion......

I'm sure that a more extensive autopsy report exists explaning exactly what caused the presence of ethanol, but we probably will not be privileged to that...... hopefully the Kalitta family will be.......
