MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Beach police are awaiting the toxicology report for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth before releasing information into the investigation of his car accident that killed a pedestrian.
Police spokesman Juan Sanchez said Monday that the routine blood work had not made it to the lab for testing yet. Sanchez said results are expected to be released by the end of the week.
Authorities said Stallworth was headed toward the beach when he hit 59-year-old Mario Reyes with his Bentley on Saturday morning on a busy causeway linking Miami and Miami Beach.
Stallworth was cooperating with police and no charges have been filed. A message seeking comment was left on the voicemail of his agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
The Browns said in a statement they were aware of what happened but would not comment until the investigation is complete.

Stallworth signed a seven-year, $35 million contract with the Browns as a free agent before last season but hardly played because he was hurt. He was scheduled to receive a $4.75 million signing bonus Friday.
Reyes had worked all night at his job with the shipping company Bernuth Agencies, located just feet from the crash. His family and co-workers said he had clocked out only minutes before the accident around 7 a.m.
Sunday, Reyes was described by relatives as a "family man."
"He spent all his free time with his family," Reyes' brother-in-law, Francisco Fajardo, told The Associated Press on Sunday. "He was on his way home."
