Cause of death revealed for former MLB phenom Brian Matusz, 37
NY Post
It is believed that former Orioles pitcher Brian Matusz died of a drug overdose, according to a Phoenix police report obtained by the Baltimore Banner.
Matusz was found dead in his home by his mother, Elizabeth, on Jan. 6. He had a white substance in his mouth with drug paraphernalia on the floor next to him.
Elizabeth told police that Brian, 37, had a history of drug abuse and recently made comments like “there is nothing left for me.”
She took the one-time pitching phenom to the emergency room on Jan. 4.
Though the reason why she had taken him is redacted in the report — per the Banner — he was advised to get help from a mental health professional.
Elizabeth took Brian to the Banner Behavioral Health Hospital in Scottsdale later that day but he was not admitted, according to the police report.
