The report states that Jones ingested Ketemine, heroin and two different kinds of amphetamines shortly before he died.
Dr. Frank Minyard of the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office said Ketamine is an animal tranquilizer, and Jones died of suffocation when the drugs paralyzed his lungs.
Jones was visiting Caitlin Fowler, marketing senior, when New Orleans Emergency Medical Services arrived at campus in response to a 911 call and were unable to resuscitate him.
Jones, 23, was a native of Chestertown, Md., and is survived by his mother, Dusti Jones, and father, Robert Jones.
A music industry graduate, Jones’ band raised over $2,600 for hurricane victims through a benefit concert in Maryland in December 2005.
The proceeds went to the Loyola University New Orleans Katrina Relief Fund and the American Red Cross.
