After originally declaring that the pilot in January's fatal hot air balloon crash in Eloy, Arizona, had elevated levels of ketamine in his system, an amended autopsy released Friday said the potent drug had actually been administered as part of life-saving efforts.
A revised report from the Pinal County Medical Examiner states ketamine was administered to the pilot of the hot air balloon after the crash occurred.
Thirteen people were aboard the Kubicek BB 85 Z balloon when it took off from Eloy on the morning of Jan. 14. Eight were skydivers who exited the gondola before the crash.
