Bob Lee had cocaine, ketamine in system at time of death: autopsy
Cash App founder Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed on the streets of San Francisco, had cocaine, ketamine and other substances in his system at the time of his death, his autopsy has revealed.
Lee, 43 — who was killed in the early hours of April 4 — was found with two stab wounds to the upper chest and a possible third injury to the right hip area, the San Francisco medical examiner said Monday.
The software engineer, who had recently moved to Miami, died from his multiple stab wounds, according to the autopsy report obtained by The Post.
The report also indicated that Lee had cocaine, ketamine and cocaethylene, a substance produced by the dual consumption of alcohol and cocaine, in his system when he died.
There were also traces of the antihistamine levocetirizine, a medicine used to treat allergies, in his blood.
IT consultant Nima Momeni, 38, who was arrested and charged with Lee’s murder last month, is set to appear in court Tuesday morning for his arraignment.
Momeni allegedly targeted Lee over an argument about his sister, Khazar Elyassnia, who is married to a prominent plastic surgeon, court documents revealed.
After a tense conversation over the phone, Momeni drove Lee to a secluded street and stabbed him with a kitchen knife in a “planned and deliberate” attack, police said.
Around the time of Lee’s death, he received a text from Elyassnia asking if he was okay because “nima came wayyyyyy down hard on you.”
If convicted of Lee’s killing, Momeni faces 20 years behind bars.
In addition to his two young daughters, Lee is survived by his former wife, father, and brother.
In an emotional social media tribute, Rick Lee called his slain son his “best friend.”
“Bobby worked harder than anyone and was the smartest person I have ever known. He will be missed by all those that knew him. Thank you to those who have reached out in support,” the heartbroken father wrote.
