Authorities in neighboring Richland County have released more information on the cause of death of a Lawrence County man who drowned in a Richland County lake.
The autopsy results of 33 year old Amare Evans of Bridgeport indicate that asthma and cannabis intoxication were contributing factors in his death in May. The Richland County Coroners Office reports that Evans had a history of asthma and the pathology report mentioned that cannabis use was also discovered and played a part in his death.
The death was ruled as accidental death during recreational swimming. Evans was with his girlfriend and others swimming at Borah Lake Beach north of Olney on Sunday May 19th when he went underwater and failed to surface. Emergency rescue personnel were called to the scene and Evan's body was later recovered by divers in the lake.
