A transgender woman who died while struggling with Berkeley police trying to take her into custody for a psychiatric evaluation had a toxic amount of drugs in her system, Alameda County coroner's officials said Friday.

Xavier Christopher Moore, 41, lost consciousness after a tussle with officers at the Gaia apartment complex at 2116 Allston Way on Feb. 12, police said.

Moore's cause of death is listed as "acute combined drug intoxication," a coroner's official said, though the nature of the drugs was not specified. Conditions that also contributed to Moore's death included morbid obesity and an enlarged heart.
