Santa Monica Observer On L.A. Angels Pitcher Tyler Skaggs Death: “You Heard It Here First
The newspaper was blasted by the Angels and Texas police after it published an earlier story that indicated Skaggs may have overdosed on opioids. The Texas coroner also came to that conclusion in his release today, saying that a combination of drugs and alcohol caused the 27-year-old pitcher to choke to death.
The Observer had speculated that Skaggs, 27, may have gone the same route as rocker Tom Petty, getting opioid prescriptions from multiple doctors who were unaware of each other’s treatments. The Observer article was then scrubbed of that information and indicated that the article “makes it clear the author is speculating.” The family of Skaggs said in its statement today that it was determined to find out where he obtained his drugs, and seemed to point the finger at an Angels employee.
