ATLANTA -- An overdose is possible in the death of former Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tommy Hanson, but the cause of his death has yet to be determined, authorities said.
Hanson wasn't breathing when emergency crews tried to help him Sunday at a friend's home near Atlanta, Coweta County sheriff's officials wrote in their initial report. They typed "overdose" in a small section titled "crime incident."
Sheriff's officials said in a statement Wednesday that an officer was part of a conversation with hospital emergency room workers, but it doesn't describe the conversation, nor does it indicate what Hanson might have overdosed on.
