Blue Jays: Disturbing details released surrounding Roy Halladay’s death

The tragic ending of Blue Jays Hall of Famer Roy Halladay‘s life took an unfortunate turn yesterday when the NTSB released its findings into the plane crash that took place over the Gulf of Mexico in 2017.

It appears the iconic pitcher was dealing with some unpublicized demons as it is being reported by Sportsnet that Halladay had “amphetamine levels about 10 times therapeutic levels in his blood along with a high level of morphine and an anti-depressant that can impair judgment.”

The cause of the crash also appears to be a result of Halladay conducting high-risk maneuvres while flying low to the water at high rates of speed.
