As if the story of big wave surfer Peter Davi, 47, drowning at Ghost Trees could get any sadder, the Monterey County Herald is reporting that after an autopsy it was discovered that Davi was high on meth when he drowned.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Richards said toxicology results show that Davi had a methamphetamine level of 0.75 milligrams per liter in his system at the time of his death. The level for potential toxicity is between 0.2 to 0.5 milligrams per liter. . . “That is a lot,” said Richards. . . . Richards said the primary cause of death was asphyxiation from drowning, but that acute methamphetamine intoxication and blunt force head and chest trauma were “contributing factors” in his death.
Sadly, it seems Davi thought he needed a little extra boost.
