PHOENIX (AP) -- Police found evidence of cocaine and drug paraphernalia at former major league pitcher Rod Beck's home on the day he died.

 

A police report released Tuesday indicated evidence in several places at Beck's house, including the bathroom and the master bedroom in which the 38-year-old Beck, a three-time All-Star who saved 286 games, was found dead at his northeast Phoenix home on June 23.

 

In a case on the bedroom floor, "four small canisters contained a white powdery residue of suspected cocaine. The larger canister contained a dried paste, commonly used to produce rock cocaine," the report said. They also found a white powdery substance on the roll top desk.

 

Police also found a loaded semiautomatic handgun in a bag containing numerous glass bowl pipes and torch lighters.

 

The medical examiner is awaiting results of toxicology tests to establish a cause of death.

regardless of cause of death, cocaine is bad. I know, I know, really going out on a ledge there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Ugh, foul play :(

[kujay]

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

 

Seriously sad though. I took him for a beer-only (lots of it) kind of guy.

[ConstableRabbit]

I was really hoping it wouldn't turn out this way, but I'm not at all surprised.

 

RIP

[Mizzou]

Oh man, this stinks. No one wanted to see this.

[erik316wttn]

Stupid ass.

 

Damn it, Shooter, wasn't beer enough?

[Bote McBoteface]

I still love him.

[Magnetic Curses]

just because he did some coke, which may or may not have contributed to his death, doesn't mean he was any more or less of a good guy. doesn't change my opinion of him at all.

I'm not going to demonize him or anything, but it would really suck if he got on to the Coke habit and it killed him.

i think life, in general, is what led to beck's demise.

[frostwyrm]

Hope they don't find needles, considering his nickname was "Shooter." I'd hate to see his nickname become the punchline of a bunch of tasteless jokes.

Give me a break.

 

A 38 year old adult kills himself doing coke (I'll rescind this if the toxiology shows anything different but I'm pretty confident given the circumstances and his wife's statements that it won't) and it doesn't change your opinion of him? A guy so self-centered and immature that he puts his need to get high and the related risks above his wife and young daughters?

 

Yeah Shooter did some good things for AIDs but the stupid decisions he made which resulted in his wife becoming a widow and two young girls being without a father make him less of a "good guy" in my book and definitely changed my opinion of him.

While I certainly understand your view, I don't think you have any idea of what being an addict truly entails. It isn't as if an addict makes a choice to get high. It's a part of their brain structure, and even with rehab, it's a daily struggle some times.

 

It doesn't make him a "bad guy" as you say. It makes him tragic because he couldn't stay on the wagon despite at least one publicized attempt at getting clean.

People choose all the time not to do drugs or to do them occasionally without becoming an addict. The fact that Shooter choose to take the steps that ruined his and his family's lives is indeed tragic.

Unless he was tied down and forced to take the drugs by bad guys, that's exactly the choice he did make.
