Dr. James Adams, the state's long-time chief forensic examiner, was intoxicated when he drowned in a North Carolina lake while vacationing in July, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday. The report was released by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina, at the request of The News and Observer in Raleigh, N.C., which reported in July that Adams was the third person found dead in Jordan Lake within a week. The autopsy report described Adams, 60, as having a mild heart disease but said Adams's intoxication was the "significant" contributor to his drowning. Dr. Thomas Clark, who did the autopsy, said yesterday he does not believe Adams's underlying heart condition played a role in his death. Adams's body was found floating in Jordan Lake, which is near Raleigh, in early July. Adams, of 17 Ridge Road in Concord, had been vacationing in the area with his wife but had stayed behind when she returned to Concord for work. Read More. |
