After Tyler Skaggs’ autopsy, performed in 2019, his death was deemed accidental. But, the medical examiner that performed Skaggs autopsy said Thursday that he couldn’t say for sure that the lethal narcotic fentanyl killed the 27-year-old pitcher. However, fentanyl rendered Skaggs’ death a “higher chance,” according to Dr. Marc Krouse.
Although Krouse was the deputy medical examiner for Tarrant County at the time of Skaggs’ autopsy, he was fired after a 42-year career following a series of autopsy errors last year.
