Ex-Marine who survived Iraq bombing died of drugs

A former Marine from Illinois who was badly disfigured by a suicide bombing in Iraq died of a combination of heroin and alcohol intoxication, a coroner's inquest determined.
Tyler Ziegel died Dec. 26 after a fall, but Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said Saturday it was the combination of drugs in his system _ not the fall _ that killed him. The coroner's jury ruled Thursday that the 30-year-old's death was accidental.
"Like so many of his fellow wounded warriors, Ty fought back," Quinn said in the address. "He fought back through 59 surgeries and untold emotional scars to become an advocate for veterans and military families."
