Former Rockies OF Darryl Hamilton found dead in Houston-area home

Darryl Hamilton, who played in the majors for 13 seasons, died in an apparent murder-suicide, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Hamilton and Monica Jordan -- with whom the former major leaguer had a 14-month-old child -- were found dead on Sunday afternoon in a Pearland, Texas home. The bodies were identified to the public on Monday.

Police said officers were sent to the home on an emergency call about a disturbance. When they arrived, they found the body of Darryl Hamilton, 50, near the front entry way. The body of Monica Jordan, 44, was found in another part of the home.
