bosox Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1902132Preliminary results of the autopsy performed on Ken Caminiti show that the former National League MVP died of a drug overdose, a New York City police source told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap.Caminiti, 41, reportedly collapsed in a Bronx apartment on Sunday and was pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital. His agent, Rick Licht, said at the time Caminiti died of a heart attack. Eh, I would have rather just known and thought he died of a heart attack than drugs...sad to see his life, or anyones, end that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a great guy and obviously a competetive guy if he was willing to take performance enhancing drugs to get better. My best memory of him was seeing him play through pain during the Padres/Yankees World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning River Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 It's too bad... He just couldn't stay away. Man, how demonic are drugs? VERY scary!I'm sure he did die of a Heart Attack, unfortunately we all know that it was most likely drug induced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
