We all remember the incredibly sad and unfortunate passing of LA Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, who was just 27 years old.
He passed away in a Texas hotel room with fentanyl and oxycodone found in his sytem.
Family members of Skaggs have now filed wrongful death lawsuits against the Halos as well as two former Angel employees. This was announced on Tuesday by Rusty Hardin, their family attorney.
The LA Angels deny the accusations from the family of Tyler Skaggs.
The LA Angels say that they looked into Tyler Skaggs’ death on their own, and found that the team did not know that Skaggs was using opioids, nor did anybody hear of a team employee supplying opioids to any Angels player.
