Tyler Skaggs wrongful death case update: Mike Trout set for court visit as witness as judge denies postponement
On July 1, 2019, Mike Trout's teammate, Tyler Skaggs tragically passed away. He was found unresponsive in his hotel room in Texas as the Los Angeles Angels had a road series against the Texas Rangers.
A medical examiner ruled a mix of fentanyl, oxycodone, and alcohol played a role in the pitcher's death. The Skaggs; family set a lawsuit in motion, suing the Halos' organization, alongside a public relations employee named Eric Kay and Kay's former boss, Tim Mead.
The lawsuit was set in motion over three years ago, and the Halos tried to postpone the April 7 trial. However, a judge denied that postponement, and the two sides will meet in court on Jan. 10.
