The state medical examiner's office in Augusta says an Eastport man whose body was found in a snowbank the day after he walked out of Down East Community Hospital died from a combination of hypothermia and drugs.

The 15-page autopsy report obtained by the Bangor Daily News indicates 61-year-old Reid Emery had five different drugs, including powerful painkillers, in his bloodstream when he left the Machias hospital on the evening of Jan. 1 against the wishes of doctors and nurses.

Police found Emery's body the next day in a snowbank near the hospital. He wasn't wearing a winter coat or appropriate shoes. After the autopsy, the medical examiner ordered toxicology reports.

Emery's death prompted an investigation of Down East Community Hospital by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. But prosecutors say criminal charges weren't warranted.
