This death haunts me. Not only am I actually older than he was, but it's around the same date (albeit years later) that Darryl Kile died.

Rest in peace...

What’s the deal with Angels pitchers? Nick Adenhart, now this guy. Sad...

Man, that no hit game had to have some divine intervention. A tear jerker for sure.

Tox report says he died of alcohol (2.0 blood level), fentanyl and oxy. Jeez. it's gonna get even uglier and more painful for his family and possibly the Angels organization.

Not good.
