News about Tyler Skaggs

Carli Skaggs and his mother Debbie Hetman hosted their first televised interview since his death on Friday morning. I couldn't believe it was true.' I mean that day still haunts me,' Hetman recalled the day Tyler, 27, was discovered dead in a Dallas hotel room during an Angels road series in Texas in July. On Tuesday, the family's tragedy came to an end, when former Angels communications chief Eric Kay (inset) was sentenced to 22 years in jail for providing the drugs that resulted in Tyler's deadly overdose.

Eric Kay, the former Los Angeles Angels communications director, was sentenced to 22 years in jail for supplying the medications that resulted in Tyler Skaggs' death. When U.S. District Judge Terry R. Means read his sentence, Kay, who was dressed in an orange jumpsuit with handcuffs and leg shackles, didn't respond. On one of the two charges, Kay faced at least 20 years in jail. There was no reaction from Skaggs' widow and mother or other relatives of Kay's family, including one of his sons who testified on behalf of him before sentencing.
