This report detailed all of the studies and examination conducted by the Office of the Medical Examiner. The final determination as to the cause of death of the .offender in this incident, Laquan MCD4NALD, was multiple gunshot wounds.

Additionaify, a toxicology report; dated 18 March 2015 was included in the Medical.. Examiner's report. The toxicology report was supplied by NMS Labs, the laboratory that conduct ed the toxicological examination. This report documented the presence of phencyclidine, commonly referred to as PCP, in the blood of Laquan MCDONALD. The cancentr~tion of phencyc lidine in the blood was listed as 56 ng/mL, ar 56 nanograms per milliliter. The toxicology report included the fo(lowing "Reference Comments:" '"T. Phencyclidine (Angel Dust; PCP; Sherm}-Cavity Blood: Phencyclidine(PCP)is a DEA Schedule II controifed dangerous hallucinogenic drug. There exists a dearth of pharrnacakinefrc data of PCP usage in humans; however it has been reported tha# blood levels of phencyclidine ranged from 7 - 240 ng/mL {mean, 75 ng/mL) in individuals stopped for driving under the influence of drugs or for being intoxicated in public. Ataxia, agitation, combativeness, seizures, spasticity, coma and respiratory depress ion are associated with phencyclidine concentrations ranging from 90 - 220 ng/rnL plasma. ~'"~ ~J The physiological effects of PCP can be classified as low or high dose. In iow doses, PCP can eEicit visual disturbances, drowsiness, agitation, hallucinations, aggressiveness, increas ed pulse rate and blood pressure, bronchospasm, increased respiratory rate and hyp~rthermia. In high doses, PCP can elicit convulsions, opisthotanos, coma, arrhythmias, decreased blood pressure and respirations and.rhabdamyalysis. There appears to be na relation between plasma levels of phencyclidine and degree of intoxication. Even so, death has .been reported fpllowing the use of only 120 mg of phencyclidine. Blood concentrations in phencyclidine-related fatalities have been reported to range from 300 25000 ng/m~(mean, 500Q ng/mL)." This presence of phencyclidine, along with his previously documented mental health history could explain the irrational behavior exhibited by L~quan MCD4NALD during this incident. This included his attack on the original civElian complainant who ca{fed 9-1-1, where he was described as-b eing non-verbal, "growling" and making strange noises; his ignoring al( verbal direction given by police officers who encountered NiCDQNALD; his . brandishing a knife; and his attacking the police, including a police vehicle, with the knife.
