MLB Skaggs autopsy results - oxycodone

[Son of Butch]

LA Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died last month a week before his 28th birthday.
career baseball earnings, 9.18 million dollars in 9 yrs including minors
mlb career record 28 w - 38 L
2018 was his best season at 8-10 and he was 7-7 this season at time of death.

Autopsy released last week concluded Skaggs choked to death on his own vomit
due to opioid and alcohol intoxication with a trace amount of fentanyl present.
His death was ruled accidental with neither suicide or foul play suspected.

It was shocking to hear of the death of a 27 yr old athlete and opiod use seems to
have come as a shock to those close to him. He was married just 8 months and there has
never been opioid use/problem reported in the Angels clubhouse or by player drug testing.

Pretty much all elite sports are rife with recreational drugs. As long as you are good at what you do a blind eye is turned. As soon as you aren't needed anymore you are outed and dumped. A world i am glad i never got into. I probably had the talent physically but way too naive to have survived. I was angry with my dad at the time but so glad now!
