SANTA ANA (CN) — Lawyers for the Los Angeles Angels and for the family of pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who died of a drug overdose in 2019, made their final appeals to a jury on Monday following a two-month civil trial.
Skaggs was just 27 when he was found dead in his Texas hotel room. It was later determined that Skaggs had alcohol, oxycodone and fentanyl in his system — the fentanyl having come from a counterfeit oxycodone pill given to him by Eric Kay, a former Angels executive. Kay was convicted of distributing drugs resulting in a death, and sentenced to 22 years in federal prison.
