SANFORD, Fla. --Trayvon Martin, the Florida teen shot and killed by former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman in February, had drugs in his system at the time of his death, ABC News reported Thursday.



Martin's autopsy report shows traces of the drug THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, were found in Martin's blood and urine, according to ABC News.

The report came shortly after prosecutors announced they would be releasing hundreds of documents in the case to the public Thursday.

Zimmerman pleaded not guilty in April to second-degree murder in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Martin.

The former neighborhood watchman told police he shot Martin in self-defense after the unarmed African-American teen attacked him in a gated community in Sanford, Fla., an Orlando suburb.

The six-week interval between Martin's death and Zimmerman's arrest sparked national protests about perceived racial injustice.
