Cheyenne Teen's Death Linked to BAC of .226

Authorities say a teenager whose body was found outside a Cheyenne high school after temperatures dipped to 10 degrees had a blood-alcohol level of 0.226% - nearly three times the legal limit for driving. Laramie County Coroner Marty Luna says 18-year-old Andrea Battle died of hypothermia, but alcohol was a contributing factor. Authorities say Battle crashed her car near East High School in the early morning hours of Dec. 1 and wandered around the school grounds for at least two hours afterward. A maintenance worker discovered her body at 10:15 that morning.
