Death of former Met Darryl Hamilton shocks baseball

The death of former Met Darryl Hamilton on Sunday sent shock waves throughout baseball, which mourned the loss of a standout player who later enjoyed success as a television analyst.

Hamilton, 50, was found shot to death in his suburban Houston home, the victim of what Pearland, Texas, police initially deemed a murder-suicide.

According to the police report, the body of Monica Jordan, 44, was found in another part of the home in Pearland. Police believe she shot Hamilton before taking her own life.

The couple's 14-month-old son was found in the home unharmed, according to police.
