Coroner Reveals Woman Killed In Henry Ruggs Crash Burned To Death
Graphic details have emerged about the woman who was tragically killed in a car accident allegedly caused by NFL player Henry Ruggs.
The coroner determined that Tina Tintor, 23, died of “thermal injuries” on Nov. 2 after Ruggs reportedly crashed his Corvette into her Toyota at 156MPH.
Tintor and her dog Max burned to death in Las Vegas after her vehicle was engulfed in flames.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal shared the findings of the autopsy.
“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.”
Investigators noted that Ruggs’ vehicle hit her with “such violent force” that it immediately exploded into flames. Ruggs’ blood alcohol level was also measured at 0.16 percent. The Las Vegas Raiders released him the following day, and he could face 40 years in jail if convicted.
Ruggs is currently on house arrest under very strict conditions. He posted $150,000 bail but must wear an alcohol monitoring device and make regular checks.
