Nothing about me and banjos?  Screw you!

 

 

[Brian Ilten]

Been through this way too many times as a long time fan of this organization.  When does it stop?

Condolences to his family and the entire Angels Family.

[Tank]

Police are announcing it was not suicide, according to MLB network.

I have to stop at a friend's house now to deliver something. His 10-yr old son is a huge Angels fan. I will not mention this. I can't bear to.

That is best.

My wife called me and told me and I'm not handling it well.

And I'm a old man. 

[Second Base]

Man, I mean the result is the same regardless, but I really hope this had nothing to do with drugs of any kind.  Tyler had a great impact on the community.

So thats one of the two that would make sense of whats being reported. 

Again, if an autopsy is coming, disregard anything else I wrote.

[halomatt]

Too young. A parent should not have to bury their child. 

 

My my heart hurts for his mother, wife, and family. 

[Redondo]

I'm shocked.

RIP Tyler

[Lou]

27 years old.

27.

 

 

Fuck. 

[FabulousFabregas]

RIP. Crazy to think that two guys from our team last year have passed away (Skaggs and Valbuena).

[Make Angels Great Again]

I'm gettin reeeeeal tired of hearing about all of this death lately.

 

F*ck.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I remember the team going through the shock and zombie state after Adenhart. I imagine this will be far worse, being that everyone had already known him for years.

[Broad Street]

Former Texas cop here...

If the ME can not determine cause of death at the scene, an autopsy will be done at the county ME office. If the ME is able to determine cause of death, an autopsy can still be done, but it has to be at the family’s request. 

 

Either way, the ME’s office will transport the body to county until the family flies out and takes custody of the body. 

 

ME= medical examiner

I think it was @Kody Mac that said it a few pages back, and hes right. This can happen to any of us, or anyone we know, any day.

Were all lucky enough to get this one shot at life. Dont waste it... 

The number one regret dying people have are the opportunities they didnt take. Dont put off your dreams.... and if the other person is important to you, dont hold grudges.

[Biergott]

I still can't believe this is happening.  It's not possible.

[mp170.6]

Twitter posts are saying accidental drug overdose.

Don't shoot me if that's false.

Yep.

So people know, autopsys arent "standard". You dont do one if you already know what happened. This is because its expensive, for 1. And 2... its pretty brutal. Ill leave the details out, but you dont need to do that to a body if you dont need to. It would be immoral to do so. 

At least here in California, the Coroner doesn't even come out if it seems natural. They do their report over the phone, then the family contacts a mortuary to take the body.

[Troll Daddy]

It’s sucks for the team that they’re on a 7 day road trip and not with their families to morn his death. 

[Dick Enberg]

Just like that. words are not enough. wish his family well. RIP Tyler. You brought tears to my eyes and not because you just gave up a 3 run homer on a 2 strike count. Enjoyed you and hated you. but most of all, I love you for what you did for me and baseball. They'll be  spot for you at the next field of dreams game.

That was number 2 of the 2 possibilities....

But lets wait and see what the offical release says first

I really hope that report above isn't true.  If so, it is such a waste and so incredibly sad
