The Angels organization issued a statement as follows:

That stinks.

Feel bad for Mike Trout. His brother in law, who was an Angel minor league pitcher, died in August. Now his friend dies.

May the young man rest in peace.

Rest In Peace. So sad for children or young adults in the prime of their lives
dying. This might be the second Angel?s pitcher to die. Wasn?t the other pitcher
Adinhart or something similar last name?

Nick Adenhart.


Shortly after midnight on April 9, 2009, Adenhart was involved in a car crash in Fullerton, California, just hours after being the starting pitcher in the previous night's game. Police reported that an individual driving a red Toyota Sienna minivan ran a red light and broadsided a gray Mitsubishi Eclipse in which Adenhart was a passenger, sending it crashing into a telephone pole. The driver of the Eclipse, Cal State Fullerton cheerleader Courtney Stewart, as well as another passenger, Henry Pearson, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Already ten years ago?

Wow.

I would?ve thought only two or three.

How time flies.

Skaggs becomes the latest (non-musician) member of the infamous 27 Club.

Hotel-room deaths make me uncomfortable for some reason. No explanation, because, once we expire, it really matters not where.

Just wait until somebody dies in a hotel room with you, and you have to answer awkward questions to the police.

Talk about uncomfortable.

Santa Monica Observer reporting accidental overdose from pain medication.

Angels categorically denying this claim and criticizing SMO for the report.

Story.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Autopsy scheduled.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Toxicology test today.

 

[SpartyNash]

Terrible. When I heard the news I immediately remembered their young pitcher Nick Adenhart being killed in a car accident and couldn?t believe that was already 10 years ago now.

Just saw your reply, I said the same thing in my last post.

Sad news, followed him quite a bit the last 2 years and it’s hard to believe he’s gone.

PitcherList just came out with a nice tribute to him:

The Angels honored Skaggs by placing their #45 jerseys on the pitchers mound and then proceed to throw a combined no-hitter. Unbelievable.
