Drugs Ruled as Cause of Death for Caminiti: A drug overdose killed former NL MVP Ken Caminiti, who admitted using steroids during his playing days and tested positive for cocaine in the days before he died. Coronary artery disease and an enlarged heart were listed as contributing factors in the death of Caminiti, Grace Brugess, spokeswoman for the New York City Medical Examiner, said Monday. She said the death had been ruled an accident.
Not much of a shock there I guess. Its easier to hit a an 0-2 pitch than to kick a coke habit I'll bet...well, I'm not sure about that. Even if it was coming, and you see it coming, its still kind of sad to see it play out like that. MVP to downward spiral to OD.
