Tyler Skaggs' legs and feet in cowboy boots hung off of his Southlake hotel room bed. Blood pooled inside his body at the right side of his face. He had no pulse.
A Los Angeles Angels traveling security guard who found the starting pitcher's body in July 2019 as the team was preparing to leave the Hilton hotel to play the Texas Rangers described on Wednesday from the witness stand the scene when he entered the player's room.
The testimony came on the second day of the trial of Eric Kay, a former Angels employee who managed the team's press department. Prosecutors allege that he provided Skaggs with a fentanyl-laced oxycodone tablet and that it killed him.
