He's Mike Trout's wife's brother? Very sad.

Yes and certainly someone Trout was close to, he played for Millville and was three years younger than Mike.

Tragic, nobody should die at 24.

Oh yikes....dude was only 24 so you can likely guess how this ended. Awful news and sad

I don't know but just about all of the options are shocking and tragic.

That’s a damn shame.

Deeply sorry to hear this, that is way to young an age to leave this Earth. Condolences to the entire Cox and Trout families. Rest In Peace Aaron.

Lost for words...It seems like a couple weeks ago we were living it up at all you can eat sushi. You were the funniest most genuine guy I knew Aaron! Rest easy big bro and keep an eye out for all of us! Gone too soon but never forgotten! Love you Cox! pic.twitter.com/gLD7QnkCyW

RIP way too young

Tragic loss for his family. I read that Aaron was hit in the head last year and didn’t finish the season.

He broke his orbital socket on a line drive

Cox is the younger brother of Trout’s wife. Cox attended Millville High in New Jersey, just like Trout, and played baseball. The Angels drafted him 2015. He was out in 2017 after being hit in the head by a line drive during spring training. He retired last week, having not pitched at a level above Class-A.

I'm assuming he meant hit.

Assuming he means "hit in the head". 

According to this article he broke his orbital bone in a minor league camp.

Yikes. 

Does anyone know the cause of death yet?

Hate to speculate but we all know how most people in their 20s die

Very sad stuff.

Tragic. Loss for words. Prayers go out to him his families and friends. Can’t be an easy thing. 24 is way to young.

I disagree 

[fan_since79]

When asked by the Los Angeles Times if he could discuss Cox's cause of death, Tim Mead, Angels vice president of communications, said, "That is not important right now. What is important is that every member of Aaron's family and every one of his friends take time to digest this loss and grieve in their own way."

Car accident?

[Bubby]

Whatever it was, it happened fast and they knew in advance. He just retired 9 days ago. Trouts gonna be pretty fucked up, I think. He probably won't be back for a while.

[Hubs]

The statement said he died this morning, and Mike's been gone since at least Monday. This whole thing is tragic and odd, no matter how Cox died.

[eligrba4ever]

Condolences to the Cox and Trout families, and to their friends and neighbors in Millville.

This very sad event could very well lead to the Trouts realizing how important close and more frequent contact to family is and therefore putting a stamp on a eventual move closer to home, maybe sooner than later. 

Man, you really know how to pick your spots.  

Good thing you found this great opportunity to push your bullshit.

I cleaned up the garbage in here. 

Please keep it classy in this thread, gents. 

Thank you!
