Skaggs died under the influence of medication and alcohol

The medical examiner's office in Tarrant County, Texas, announced that the autopsy found the opioids fentanyl and oxycodone as well as alcohol in Skaggs' body.

Together with the active ingredients, a “lethal aspiration of the stomach contents” was the cause of the baseball player’s death. The autopsy report considers this an accident. Skaggs' family said in a statement after the report broke that police were investigating the possibility that an Angels employee was involved in the incident.

“We are devastated to learn that our beloved Tyler's death was the result of a combination of dangerous medications and alcohol. This is completely inconsistent with the character of someone who worked so hard to become an MLB baseball player and had such a promising future," the statement continued. "We will not rest until we know how Anesthetics came into Tyler's possession. “

Skaggs was found lifeless in a hotel room in Southlake, Texas, and police pronounced him dead. Skaggs was drafted by the Angels in the first round at No. 2009 in the 40 draft. In a total of seven MLB seasons, Skaggs played five years for the Angels under superstar Mike Trout and two years for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
