Eric Kay found guilty of supplying drugs that led to Tyler Skaggs’ death

FORT WORTH, Texas — A jury on Thursday found Eric Kay guilty of giving Tyler Skaggs the drugs that led to his death in July 2019.

The 12-person jury concluded that Kay, a former Angels communications director, is guilty of both crimes he was charged with in relation to Skaggs’ death: distributing fentanyl and oxycodone since “beginning or before 2017” and providing Skaggs the fentanyl that resulted in him choking on his vomit in a suburban Dallas hotel room.

Kay, 47, faces a minimum 20-year sentence and a $1 million fine for being convicted of giving Skaggs the drugs that resulted in his death.
