There are any number ways to die, plenty of them self inflicted, with no intention. This was one of them. It's still a tragedy, the same as it would be for any 24 year old to go before his/her time. No reason to assess blame, if you have any conscience.

No reason to assess blame, if you have any conscience. So true. I don't know anyone who has placed blame for a personal choice that tragically resulted in that person's death. No moralizing there. But his apparent intoxication may have contributed to the accident that killed 2 other people. They didn't happen to be star ballplayers but their lives had the same value. It is entirely possible that those personally aggrieved would seek to place blame. As far as MLB testing for cocaine or other illicit substances, it would seem that it would have a self-interest to maintain the best public image, best on-field product and evidence true concern for subject individuals. I have no idea whether there is a such a testing and/or an intervention program but it appears to me that baseball would be well-served by considering same. |

I'm not surprised alcohol and drugs played a role. That was my first thought when this happens given the time it happened.
For everyone saying why release this information. Think about this, all the young fans that idolized him can get a life lesson of what not to do. If even a few lives are saved because they remember this tragic event, then at least some good can come from this horrible accident.
