Olympic eventer Amy Tryon died following an accidental opiate overdose, according to a medical examiner’s report.

The Seattle Times has reported that the King County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Tryon’s death as accidental and said toxicology reports show she died of an “acute combined opiate” overdose.

Tryon was 42 when she died in her sleep on April 12.

The examiners report said that present in her system at time of death were the analgesic Oxycodone; the antihistamine diphenhydramine; and the benzodiazepines Alprazolam, Diazepam, Lorazepam and Temazepam.

Tryon went to the Olympics twice, winning a team bronze medal in Athens in 2004. She was a firefighter until the summer of 2006, when she retired to dedicate herself full time to riding, basing herself out of Mapleleaf Eventing at Upson Downs in Duvall, Washington.

Wild horse advoacy groups have filed court action seeking to head off what they fear could be an emergency wild horse roundup in northwest Colorado.

The groups fear the Bureau of Land Management is moving toward an emergency roundup targeting the West Douglas wild horse herd.

Those seeking the emergency motion for a stay against what it calls a “threatened emergency gather” are the Colorado Wild Horse & Burro Coalition, Front Range Equine Rescue, Habitat for Horses, the Cloud Foundation, and Don and Toni Moore.

Their action is against the director of the Department of the Interior, Ken Salazar, and the Bureau of Land Management.
