Louisiana police say the Super Bowl reporter found dead in his hotel room outside New Orleans on Feb. 5 before the big game had Xanax in his system, citing a preliminary toxicology report that has yet to be publicly released.

Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old Telemundo sports reporter based in Kansas City, Missouri, traveled to New Orleans on assignment to cover the Super Bowl earlier this month and was found dead in his room at the Comfort Suites hotel in Kenner.

Kenner Police Detective Jeffrey Fitzmorris testified during a Tuesday bond hearing that Alprazolam, commonly known as Xanax, was found in Manzano’s body after his death, according to FOX 8 New Orleans. The detail paints a fuller picture of what may have happened to Manzano before he died.

Kenner police confirmed the testimony to Fox News Digital.

Authorities executed a search warrant at Colbert’s address after identifying her as a potential suspect in connection with Manzano’s death and located a stolen gun that did not appear to be related to Manzano’s death and narcotics.

Colbert may face additional charges as the investigation into Manzano’s death develops.

Telemundo 39 remembered Manzano as “a true professional and a rising star who exemplified excellence in his work” in a statement. 

“We will deeply miss Adan and his passion for sports and the contributions he made to the local community,” the statement says.
