A medical examiner in Texas has determined that former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died of an accidental overdose last month, according to ESPN.

An autopsy revealed Skaggs' cause of death as a result of “mixed ethanol, fentanyl and oxycodone intoxication with terminal aspiration of gastric contents.” In layman's terms, that means Skaggs choked on his own vomit while under the influence.

Oxyocodone and fentanyl are both pain medications, with the latter being stronger. There were 38 nanograms per millimeter of oxycodone and 3.8 nanograms per millimeter of fentanyl in Skaggs' system. Tests also displayed that Skaggs' blood-alcohol level was 0.122 percent, well above the 0.08 percent limit of being legally impaired.

He was just 27 years old at the time of his passing.

“We are heartbroken to learn that the passing of our beloved Tyler was the result of a combination of dangerous drugs and alcohol,” Skaggs' family said in a statement on Friday. “That is completely out of character for someone who worked so hard to become a Major League baseball player and had a very promising future in the game he loved so much.”

Skaggs was originally selected by the Angels in the first round (40th pick overall) of the 2009 MLB Draft. However, he was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks before ever playing a big-league game for Los Angeles in August 2010.

He made his major-league debut with the Diamondbacks in 2012 and spent two seasons in Arizona before being traded back to the Angels in December 2013.

Skaggs had been a member of the Halos ever since. He went 28-38 with a 4.41 ERA over the course of his career.
