It turns out Oscar Taveras was intoxicated at the time of his fatal crash:

Tessie Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general’s office, told The Associated Press toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level five times the country’s legal limit when he lost control of his car Oct. 26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata.

She says the 22-year-old Taveras was “legally intoxicated when he crashed.”

Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock suffered a similar fate.
