Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died from an accidental overdose of drugs and alcohol, a medical examiner in Texas has ruled.
The 27-year-old Skaggs was found dead in his hotel room in the Dallas area July 1. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said in a report released Friday that Skaggs had the powerful painkillers fentanyl and oxycodone, along with alcohol, in his system.
Skaggs' family released a statement on Friday suggesting a team employee was part of the investigation into the death.
"We are heartbroken to learn that the passing of our beloved Tyler was the result of a combination of dangerous drugs and alcohol," the statement said.
