On March 20, Brian Greenhouse died after falling 30 feet from the Hi-Miler rollercoaster. An autopsy was performed about 12 hours later.

The toxicology report, just released on Thursday shows Greenhouse had a blood alcohol content of .11. The Texas legal limit is .08.

The rodeo would not comment on the blood alcohol content because it faces multiple legal actions over Greenhouse's death.
