SANGERVILLE, Maine (AP) — Autopsy results show that a 49-year-old man and his 25-year-old son who died at a central Maine hunting camp had cocaine, painkillers and alcohol in their systems at the time of their deaths.

The state medical examiner’s office says last summer’s deaths of Andrew and Dustin Giroux of Saco were caused by their recent drug and alcohol use along with underlying heart problems. The deaths have been ruled accidental.

The Girouxs were among six men who gathered at Andrew Giroux’s camp in Sangerville to celebrate his son’s upcoming marriage.

The elder Giroux was found dead outside the camp the morning of Aug. 1. His son was discovered inside in bed, but he could not be revived.
