AUSTIN (AP) — An autopsy shows an actress and beauty queen winner of a Spanish-language TV reality show was legally intoxicated when she died last year at her Texas home.

The Austin American-Statesman reports the Tarrant County medical examiner determined 31-year-old Margaret Ann Garza of Round Rock possibly stopped breathing while in a position that obstructed her airway.
