Oscar Taveras was drunk at the time of his fatal car crash last month, an official in the Dominican Republic said.

Toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level five times the Dominican Republic's legal limit when he lost control of his car Oct. 26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata, according to a spokesman for the Domincan attorney general's office.

After the findings were released, St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak issued a statement saying team officials "have yet to receive any official notification from the Dominican. Until we have the opportunity to review the official report, we cannot confirm details. While we are still working to obtain the facts, it won't change the fact that this is a terrible tragedy. We have an obligation to use this as an opportunity to educate our players that they must take responsibility for themselves both on and off the field."
