The estate of the late NFL quarterback reached a “partial settlement” last year with the driver of the truck that killed him, as well as its owner and broker. Haskins’ family sued, accusing the truck driver of speeding, careless driving and carrying a load that exceeded the legal weight limit.
The quarterback, who died just weeks before his 25th birthday, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20 percent at the time of his death, according to the Broward County Coroner’s Office.

But his lawyers also argue that he was “targeted and drugged” as part of a “conspiracy to blackmail and rob.” No criminal charges have been filed in connection with these allegations, and no evidence has been presented in court to substantiate any of the claims.
According to the report, a woman who was with Haskins told investigators he ran out of gas just before dawn on Interstate 595 near Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and went outside in the dark to get gas before he was hit by a vehicle.
