Dwayne Haskins’ widow issued a new statement on Monday, hours after the autopsy and toxicology report for the late quarterback were released.

Haskins was killed after being hit by a truck in Florida on April 9. The autopsy and toxicology reports revealed Haskins had drugs in his sytem and his blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit.

The reports reflected poorly on the late quarterback, which led to the statement from his widow.

Kalabrya Haskins released a statement through her attorney and asked for privacy and patience.
