The widow and mother of Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs tell their story on camera for the first time since Skaggs died after taking fentanyl-laced oxycodone in 2019.
The widow of Tyler Skaggs and his mother shared their story on camera for the first time since the 2019 death of the Los Angeles Angels pitcher.
Skaggs' wife, Carli Skaggs, and mother, Debbie Hetman, spoke to ABC News for the exclusive interview. Just this week, former Angels communications director Eric Kay was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison in connection to the player's death.Skaggs was just 27 years old when he died after taking fentanyl-laced oxycodone while on the road with his team."I was driving in my car, and I got a call from the general manager. I knew it was bad.
Tyler and Carli had just gotten married in December. He was on a mission to start 30 games that season. His family said he was well on his way despite injuries. But then he took the laced pill. An autopsy report revealed Skaggs died after choking on his vomit, with a dangerous combination of fentanyl, oxycodone and alcohol in his system.On Tuesday, Kay was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for providing Skaggs with the drugs that led to his death. His sentence was two more years than the minimum. The judge said it was because of jailhouse calls in which Kay made disparaging remarks about Skaggs."That haunts me all the time," Hetman said.
Carli Skaggs and Debbie Hetman are determined to carry on Tyler's mission with the Tyler Skaggs Foundation, and they hope by sharing their story they can spread awareness of the dangers of fentanyl.Related Topics
