An autopsy has finally ruled the cause of death for the talented, young cowboy whose body was found dead July 28 during the Cheyenne Frontier Days, Broc Cresta. He was found by his girlfriend, Brittany Pozzi in his trailer late morning. At only 25, the team roping healer was sitting 14th in the PRCA. His professional rodeo career had just started in 2007 and was cut very short. In his career, he had earned a little over $350,000 total.
According to Wyoming News, the cause of Broc's death was a combination of alcohol and pain pills. The autopsy report stated that his central nervous system was suppressed by oxycodone and ethanol intoxication. His brother said, "Broc took his own prescription pain medication and combined it with alcohol and
a climate he wasn’t used to and it caused the perfect storm. He went to sleep and
never woke up." Broc's death is truly a tragedy. It's not only sad to lose someone so young, but in such tragic way. He left his mark on the world of rodeo and will never be forgotten.
