Former MLB star Tyler Skaggs’ wife, Carli, is suing the Los Angeles Angels and several employees of the team for wrongful death.

She's claiming they provided the pitcher with high-powered drugs, which ultimately killed him.

Tyler’s family says he was found dead in a Texas hotel room while traveling with the team, and his “death was caused by Eric Kay, the Angels’ Director of Communications."

The suit points to an “extensive federal investigation,” which concluded with Kay being charged for knowingly distributing a substance containing a detectable amount of fentanyl.

Tyler’s wife says the tragedy of his death was made worse by the revelation that it could have been avoided.

“Without question, the Angels knew or should have known that Kay was supplying illicit drugs to not only Tyler but at least five other Angels’ players."
