Tyler Skaggs

The 27-year-old pitcher with the Los Angeles Angels was found dead on July 1, just two days after he pitched for the team at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.  The team made the announcement on Monday afternoon in a statement on Twitter, which was also obtained by PEOPLE.  “The Southlake Police Department responded to a call of an unconscious male in a room in the Hilton Hotel,” authorities confirmed in a statement. “Officers arrived and found the male unresponsive and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

Skaggs' cause of death has yet to be revealed. “At this time, no foul play is suspected. This investigation is ongoing,” police said.  “It is with great sorrow that we report Tyler Skaggs passed away earlier today in Texas,” the Angels said. “Tyler has, and always will be, an important part of the Angels family. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time.”
