Caminiti autopsy calls it overdose
The New York City Chief Medical Examiner's office reported Monday that former National League MVP Ken Caminiti died from an accidental drug overdose.
The report said that the death of Caminiti on Oct. 10 in the Bronx resulted from "acute intoxication due to the combined effects of cocaine and opiates."
Grace Brugess, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner, said the autopsy showed that coronary artery disease and an enlarged heart contributed to the death. She said the fatal overdose had weakened Caminiti's heart.
Caminiti, 41, had said he used illegal bodybuilding steroids when he was playing and cocaine in recent years.
