Ex-MLB infielder Sean Burroughs’ cause of death revealed
NY Post
Former major league infielder Sean Burroughs died in May of a fentanyl overdose, TMZ reported, citing the Los Angeles County medical examiner.
The official cause of death was listed as fentanyl intoxication, the outlet reported.
The death was ruled to be accidental.
The No. 9 overall pick in the 1998 MLB Draft died in May at 43 years old after he was found unresponsive in a Long Beach, California parking lot after dropping off his 6-year-old son at a Little League game.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a 2011 interview with ESPN, Burroughs said he had struggled with addiction.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
