"Air Ambulance Crew Administered Life-Saving Drug to Hot Air Balloon Pilot After Fatal Crash"

An amended autopsy report revealed that the pilot of a hot air balloon that crashed in Arizona, killing four people, had been administered ketamine by an air ambulance company while being transported to the hospital. The report clarified that neither paramedics nor hospital staff administered the drug. The cause of the crash is still unknown, but preliminary findings from the National Transportation Safety Board indicated damage to the balloon's envelope. The balloon, carrying 13 people, including skydivers, plummeted to the desert floor. The company operating the balloon has suspended its operations following the tragic incident.
