The death of Port Adelaide player John McCarthy in Las Vegas last month has been ruled as accidental by a US coroner.
McCarthy, 22, died after falling from a rooftop at the Flamingo casino and hotel complex.
Assistant coroner in Clark County, Nevada, John Fudenberg, said McCarthy died from injuries sustained in an accidental fall.
"I can tell you that we ruled the cause of death as multiple injuries due to a fall from height and the manner of death is accidental," he said.
He would not say whether or not alcohol or drugs were found in McCarthy's system as the toxicology report was not a matter of public record.
