The second stab to Lee’s chest apparently penetrated two to three inches, but pierced Lee’s heart, too. Doctors apparently worked on Lee for nearly four hours as he bled severely and his heart stopped. Widespread assumptions that <a href="https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/bob-lee-killing-what-role-did-drugs-play-in-sf-slaying-of-tech-exec/">drugs may have been a factor</a> in the events of that day and night are confirmed in that a toxicology report shows Lee had alcohol, ketamine, and cocaine in his system.</p><p>“It was an indicative of recent use, but not definitive evidence of impairment,” University of Florida College of Medicine professor Dr. Bruce Goldberger told the Chronicle after reviewing the report.</p><p>It also came out in prosecutors initial court filing that, according to at least one witness, Momeni had allegedly confronted Lee about sharing drugs with his sister, who is allegedly central to the motive in the stabbing.</p><p>We also have a more solid timeline on the killing with the release of this report. The stabbing apparently occurred around 2:30 a.m. on April 4, and police arrived on the 300 block of Main Street and performed CPR. Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter to find Lee with no pulse and gasping for air, and placed a breathing tube down his trachea while transporting him to SF General Hospital. He arrived there around 3 a.m., still without a pulse, as doctors performed blood transfusions. Operating room doctors found Lee had injuries to the “apex of the right ventricle” of his heart per the report, and despite attempts to staple and restart his heart, Lee was pronounced dead at 6:49 a.m.</p><p>Nima Momeni remains in custody, and his arraignment, which was delayed last week in a courthouse <a href="https://twitter.com/mdbarba/status/1650900314479013888">packed with reporters</a>, is <a href="https://www.ktvu.com/news/cash-app-founder-bob-lee-died-after-4-hours-on-the-operating-table-autopsy-reveals">scheduled for today</a> according to KTVU.</p><p><strong>Update:</strong> The arraignment has been delayed once more, until May 18.</p><p><strong>Related: </strong><a href="https://sfist.com/2023/04/18/attorney-for-techie-murder-suspect/">Attorney for 'Techie' Murder Suspect Nima Momeni Tries to Cast Doubt on First-Degree Murder Charge — But There's Video [SFist]</a></p><p><em>Image </em><a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/former-square-now-block-cto-bob-lee-joins-crypto-payments-company-mobilecoin-as-chief-product-officer-301439170.html"><em>via MobileCoin</em></a></p><p><em>This post has been updated with the information that ketamine was found in Lee's system.</em></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carlos Sousa Jr.'s, Tatiana the Tiger's Autopsies Revealed]]></title><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/27/tiger_victim_a.php">Carlos Sousa Jr.'s</a> autopsy report has just been released to the public. <a href="http://iteamblog.abc7news.com/2008/06/tiger-attack-au.html...]]></description><link>https://sfist.com/2008/06/02/tiger_attack_au/</link><guid isPermaLink="false">5c24249e44ad066cdcf2f50a</guid><category><![CDATA[SF News]]></category><category><![CDATA[Autopsy]]></category><category><![CDATA[body]]></category><category><![CDATA[carlos sousa]]></category><category><![CDATA[Carlos Sousa Jr]]></category><category><![CDATA[Christmas]]></category><category><![CDATA[Christmas Day]]></category><category><![CDATA[coat]]></category><category><![CDATA[Grey Goose]]></category><category><![CDATA[Jr]]></category><category><![CDATA[Paul Dhaliwal]]></category><category><![CDATA[sf]]></category><category><![CDATA[sf zoo]]></category><category><![CDATA[sfzoo]]></category><category><![CDATA[tatiana]]></category><category><![CDATA[tiger]]></category><category><![CDATA[zoo]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brock Keeling]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:30:38 GMT</pubDate><media:content url="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry164651_thumb-thumb-640xauto-207841.jpg" medium="image"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://img.sfist.com/assets_c/2009/04/entry164651_thumb-thumb-640xauto-207841.jpg" alt="Carlos Sousa Jr.'s, Tatiana the Tiger's Autopsies Revealed"><p><a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/27/tiger_victim_a.php">Carlos Sousa Jr.'s</a> autopsy report has just been released to the public. <a href="http://iteamblog.abc7news.com/2008/06/tiger-attack-au.html">According to ABC 7's Dan Noyes</a>, the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office's report details the massive (and pretty graphic) injures Sousa suffered from Tatiana the tiger on <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/12/25/tiger_kills_vis.php">Christmas Day 2007</a> at the San Francisco Zoo after a tiger escaped from her grotto. </p>

<blockquote>The report confirms the cause of death: “Blunt force injuries of the head and neck (predatory cat bite(s)).” The evidence of the mauling is devastating – Sousa suffered many punctures and scratches to his head, neck and chest. The tiger fractured his skull and spine, and cut his jugular vein.</blockquote>

<p>Sousa's blood also tested positive for both booze and marijuana. But you <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/01/02/tiger_attacks_s.php">knew that already</a>. Also, the report also goes into detail about how <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/01/22/tiger_attack_up_7.php">Tatiana's body</a> is being kept: in baggies inside of a freezer for research. It seems she met her maker after a bullet entered her through the forehead. Alas.</p>
