, was an accident, thereby clearing the air on suicide rumors. The WSJ, citing the autopsy report, said the Oklahoma medical examiner ruled the crash that killed McClendon was an accident. http://www.wsj.com/articles/crash-that-killed-aubrey-mcclendon-was-accident-1465401918 Though no alcohol was involved in the accident, but an unspecified amount of one over-the-counter drug—doxylamine, which can be used as an antihistamine or to treat insomnia—was found in McClendon's system, the report said. According to the WSJ report, "McClendon suffered a number of injuries in the single-vehicle crash, including several broken ribs, a broken pelvis and a broken back, as well as lacerations to several internal organs." These findings were in line with the medical examiner's previous determination that the former chief executive of Chesapeake Energy died of multiple blunt force trauma. WSJ said the autopsy report shows that while McClendon's heart was damaged by the crash, he didn't appear to suffer a heart-related medical event. McClendon met with the deadly accident on March 2, one day after he was indicted on a single count of conspiring to rig the price of oil and gas leases. The U.S. Justice Department dropped that charge in the wake of McClendon's death. The timing of the accident triggered suicide rumors, but the autopsy report laid those speculations to rest. At the time of writing, shares of Chesapeake Energy rose 5.57 percent to $4.93.
