fentanyl and oxycodone combined with alcohol, causing him to choke, according to a toxicology report released today by the Tarrant County, Texas medical examiner’s office.
The coroner’s report partially vindicates an earlier report from the Santa Monica Observer, which said in a column that Skaggs may have died from opioid abuse. He was found fully clothed in his hotel room and there were no signs of trauma. The Observer report was taken down after the Angels and police complained about its accuracy, and the publisher said he received threats related to the column.The investigation into Skaggs’s death was conducted by the Southlake, Texas, police.
“We are heartbroken to learn that the passing of our beloved Tyler was the result of a combination of dangerous drugs and alcohol. That is completely out of character for someone who worked so hard to become a Major League Baseball player and had a very promising future in the game he loved so much.
