A Las Vegas coroner ruled on Tuesday that the woman who former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III crashed into while driving intoxicated burned to death.
In early November, the 22-year-old former wide receiver allegedly drove intoxicated through a residential neighborhood at speeds of 156 mph in his Corvette sports car with his girlfriend in the passenger seat. When his car slammed into the rear of 23-year-old Tina Tintor's Toyota Rav4 on a street with a 45mph speed limit, the woman reportedly "died from thermal injuries due to a motor vehicle collision," according to a statement from Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse."

"Other significant conditions contributing to her death were inhalation of products of combustion, fractures of the nasal bones, right sided ribs … left forearm and (chest)," the statement said . "The manner of her death was accidental."
Ruggs, who was terminated by the Las Vegas Raiders hours after the car crash, remains on house arrest following a bail of $150,000. According to the Associated Press, he "has an ankle-wrapped GPS on one leg and an alcohol monitoring device on the other."
Ruggs' lawyers have said their client did not cause Tintor's death and that firefighters were slow to put out the deadly fire.

"The lawyers told a judge in a court document last month they found a witness who told them firefighters were slow to respond while flames consumed the car where Tintor and her dog, Max, died," reported AP. "Other witnesses told police they heard screams and tried to rescue Tintor and her dog but were turned back by heat, flames, and smoke."
However, Clark County spokesman Erik Pappa said in a statement last month that there were no "delays in response or in the attack on the fire" and that the vehicle was fully engulfed in flames by the time firefighters arrived.
