Stephenie Sermeno, lab staff at the coroner\'s office, said: \"Basically what happened was that heroin hit the system and was metabolized . \".
\"So you can\'t actually detect the heroin itself in the blood.
All you can detect is its metabolites, \"a by-product of heroin.
Ernest Vargas, a lawyer representing the parents of Montes, said that their family did not know that their son was taking drugs.
He said the coroner\'s report appeared to have nothing to do with the worker\'s death.
\"It seems to be basically related to the material used on the scaffold,\" he said . \".
Ron Tutor, the company\'s executive, said the coroner\'s report was \"self-evident \".
The safety director of the tutor said that the company would implement random tests if the labor agreement allowed.
\"We don\'t have room for drugs in this industry,\" the tutor said . \".

The result was a positive accident test.
However, the audit said, \"anecdotal evidence suggests that drug use and alcohol abuse have played a role in a large number of events in the program.
\"In fact, a locomotive driver was involved in an accident while working for another contractor because drug tests showed that he had recently smoked marijuana.
The audit said the union opposed random testing.
