Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn had alcohol and traces of marijuana in his system when he was involved in a fatal crash on Nov. 20, according to reports.

TMZ Sports cited an autopsy report as showing that Glenn's blood-alcohol level was .165, more than twice the legal limit.

Glenn's accident occurred in Irving at about 12:15 a.m. Nov. 20. His vehicle struck a concrete barrier, causing it to roll and ejecting Glenn from the driver's seat.

Glenn's fiancee, Verina LeGrand, suffered minor injuries in the crash. At the time of the wreck, Irving police did not immediately determine a cause.

Glenn was a star wide receiver at Ohio State University and went on to play for 12 years in the NFL with the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers and the Cowboys.

He played for the Cowboys from 2003 to 2007 and had two seasons, 2005 and 2006, in which he amassed more than 1,000 receiving yards. He ended his career with 593 catches for 8,823 yards and 44 touchdowns. He continued to live in North Texas after his career came to a close and started the 83 Kids Foundation.

TMZ Sports reported that the cause of Glenn's death was listed as an accident due to blunt force trauma.
