Witness its role in the huge Yoga in the City event, which we covered back in 2010.Īs for Tice, he sought to stay connected with the CorePower faithful, as witnessed by the following holiday letter, which he shared on the company's website in 2009.Īs I dwell in reflection on the past year, I find myself overwhelmed with a sense of love, gratitude and joy. Yet even as CorePower - a blend of power yoga, Ashtanga vinyasa yoga and Bikram yoga offered in heated and non-heated styles - grew beyond its Denver base of operations (its headquarters is in RiNo), the company continued to be involved in the community. In his 2014 feature about fallen guru John Friend, Westword contributor Joel Warner noted that "the Denver-Boulder area has blossomed into one of the country's yoga hot spots, home to some of the biggest brands in the industry, including Gaiam, a major yoga-products company based in Louisville the Hanuman Festival, an annual yoga event in Boulder and CorePower Yoga, a Denver company that's angling to become the first national yoga-studio chain." Starting with a single studio on Grant Street that opened in 2002, Tice built CorePower into a national powerhouse with around 160 branches across the U.S.īut on Monday, December 12, Tice, 48, was found dead in his San Diego home under circumstances the police see as potentially suspicious. December 14, 2016: Thanks to founder and Telluride native Trevor Tice, CorePower Yoga became one of the great success stories in recent Denver business history. Trevor Tice Autopsy Original post, 5:40 a.m. His immediate cause of death was his head injuries (blood loss from the facial lacerations, as well as subdural hemorrhage and cerebral contusions). Therefore, the cause of death is best listed as 'blunt force head trauma' with 'hepatic steatosis' listed as a contributing condition, and the manner of death as 'accident.'"Ĭontinue to see the complete autopsy report, followed by our previous post, which outlines the way Tice built a single Denver yoga study into a national fitness empire and highlights memories and tributes from those who knew him during his Colorado days. (Note that alcohol is referred to as "ethanol" in the document.) He also tested positive for two anti-depressants - amitriptyline and nortriptyline - as well as nordiazepam, an anxiety medication in the benzodiazepine family.Ĭampman's conclusion reads: "Based on these findings and the history and circumstances of the death as currently known, including the appearance of the death scene, it appears likely that the decedent fell and struck his head on more than one occasion, apparently while intoxicated with alcohol resting on the beds and the sofa, until he fell or collapsed again.
20 percent, more than double the standard for drunk driving.
Postmortem toxicological studies showed that Tice had a blood-alcohol level of. There was blood on the beds in two of the rooms, on a sofa in the office, and on the floor in the kitchen and dining areas." Police responded and the decedent was found prone on the floor at the edge of a home office, and his death was confirmed. The contractor entered, saw blood in the residence, and exited, and 911 was called. A friend went to the residence and got no response at the door, and the friend asked a contractor that was at the residence to help check on him. The autopsy's narrative adds that "on the morning of December 12, the mother of child became concerned after she had been unable to reach him by telephone. He was last known to be alive on December 9, 2016, when he was seen to exit an Uber ride in front of his residence, stumbling, and he stumbled into a passerby walking her dog, and then fell face first into an ornamental palm tree."
The autopsy report penned by Campman and also shared here cites police documents and other sources when describing Tice as "a 48-year-old man whose medical history was significant for alcohol and prescription drug abuse. Campman believes that no foul play was involved. In our original coverage (see it below), we note that authorities originally deemed Tice's death as "suspicious" due to the presence of broken glass and a blood trail, among other clues. It's believed that the bloody head trauma that killed him came as a result of falls that took place while he was under the influence of alcohol and assorted anti-depressants. Update: A medical examiner has determined that the cause of CorePower Yoga founder and Denver business legend Trevor Tice's mysterious December death inside his San Diego home was accidental.
