New information from the Dominican Republic appears to quash the suspicion that Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura was robbed after a car wreck that took his life early Sunday morning on the Caribbean island.
Bienvenido Rojas, a longtime sports journalist for Diario Libre in the capital of Santo Domingo, on Wednesday tweeted a previously unseen image of the crash scene. In the photo, which The Star has deemed too graphic to publish, Ventura still wears a watch on one wrist and bracelet on the other.
A forensic scientist, who provided the photo to Rojas, told the reporter that Ventura’s family received a bag containing jewelry and documents when they claimed his body.
