Autopsy report findings from the body of the pilot flying Aaliyah's crashed plane show he had cocaine and alcohol in his blood.

The singer, seven friends, and pilot Luis Morales all lost their lives when the Cessna 402-B crashed on take off in the Bahamas last August.

Fans and friends of the singer have speculated about Morales' flying experience and the fact the plane was overloaded with people and luggage - but it now appears the cause of the crash could have been even more serious.

It has not yet been made clear whether cocaine and alcohol in the pilot's blood are in any way responsible for the plane crash.
