Toxicology report offers new information about Logan Young's death. Published: Jun. 21, 2006, two months and ten days after the death was discovered.


The toxicology report in the death of former University of Alabama booster Logan Young, obtained Tuesday by Action News 5, offers new details about his death.

The report was prepared on April 12th, just four days after the Memphis millionaire was found dead in his Chickasaw Gardens home. The report reveals that blunt force injury to Young's head was the cause of his death.

Young's housekeeper initially discovered his body after he died. So much blood was scattered throughout his house that police initially began investigating his death as a homicide. Later, they ruled he died from an accidental fall.

The 12 page autopsy indicates that Young suffered a skull fracture, and at the point of impact there was a large head laceration, measured over 10 inches in length.

The report also says Young suffered contusions to his right knee, right ankle, left leg, and left foot. Damage to Young's hands was also noted.

Finally, the report indicated that while Young was taking prescription medication at the time of his death, he did not have any alcohol or antidepressants in his body.
