Pro 'Call of Duty' player's girlfriend tweets more details about fatal crash
Investigators looking into the car wreck that killed professional Call of Dutyplayer Phillip "Phizzurp" Klemenov this weekend said that speed and alcohol may have been a factor, though his girlfriend who survived the wreck insisted that the 23-year-old was sober at the wheel.
One passenger, Marcelous Johnson, was also killed.
After the news broke Sunday of the late-night, single-car rollover wreck in Aurora, Colorado, support was pouring in from players and fans on social media. Kelemenov's girlfriend, Arianna Lemus, survived and posted a video to Twitter, apparently just minutes after he died.

The Aurora Police Department released a statement saying "alcohol and speed appear to be factors in the crash," along with a photo of the destroyed vehicle from a police report.
Lemus confirmed the photo as the fatal crash. But she refuted the notion that Klemenov, who was driving, had been drinking that night. The Aurora Police Department has not released information about whether the driver was intoxicated.

Lemus wrote that Klemenov lost control of the car after it swerved. The police report states that the car rolled multiple times, hitting several trees and a pole before stopping. Lemus describes climbing out of the car while it was upside-down, saying Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene and that Klemenov died in her arms later at the hospital.
Following the announcement of Klemenov's death, Lemus posted a flurry of loving and heartbreaking tweets in memoriam of her boyfriend.
