A Connecticut prosecutor says test results show a chimpanzee that mauled a woman had the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in its system.
But Stamford State's Attorney DAVID COHEN says it's not clear if the drug played a role in the attack.
The 90-kilogram chimp .. named Travis .. attacked Stamford resident CHARLA NASH on February 16.
NASH lost her hands .. nose .. lips and eyelids in the attack and doctors say she is blind and faces two years of surgical procedures.
The chimp's owner .. SANDRA HEROLD .. has made conflicting public statements about whether she gave Travis Xanax the day of the attack.
