Former major league outfielder Angel Echevarria, who played seven seasons with three different teams, has died. He was 48.
Rutgers, where he set a career home run record that has since been broken, announced his death Saturday but didn’t provide further details.
The Connecticut Post reported Saturday that Echevarria died on Friday at Bridgeport Hospital. The story said his girlfriend, Jazmine Cox, told them he took at fall in his Bridgeport home earlier in the day.

Clearly there is much more to this than was scantily reported. hes a very young guy and “a fall” could be very suspicious and just the tip of the iceberg as to what really happened.
A fall can kill if there is a head injury, regardless of age.
RIP.
A seemingly innocent (to the press) fall can result from many different circumstances. Like, a knife entry or gunshot.
I feel down two sets of cement stairs in a Manhattan Subway.
Took a chunk of my life to recover.
But I’m typing now so I did.
What kind of “fall” in the house kills you??
Very suspicious indeed.
Dude, this really sucks, but I'm trying to picture this. You fell down one flight, and then while you're dusting yourself off on the landing, you lost your balance and fell down another flight??
The length of two flights. I’m sorry.
If I can find a picture I will send it to you.
They don’t make a break in between the sets of stairs.
I don’t know how to post pictures on FR :(
If you want, I can gmail you them but most don’t want to start throwing their email names around on here :)
Nah, I get it now. Thanks! Glad you recovered (for the most part)!
Yeah i’m goo to go :)
About 30 years ago a friend in his late 50's fell in the shower and hit his head. Knocked unconscious. Went to ER, held overnight and released. One week later he went to his doctor for headache. Died in the waiting room from an aneurysm.
$#!t happens.
Isn’t it nice to know so many “heroic conservatives” live in New York City? Who would ever have guessed?
I have a friend whose 40ish son died after a fall from a ladder in his home. It happens.
Of Basque descent? Never heard of him, and I am a seam-head....
My father fell in the bathroom while i was at work...when i came home he was unresponsive...took hom off life support the next morning....falls can kill.
When drunk, one falls. When on drugs, one falls. When one doesn’t pay loan sharks, one falls from windows and who knows where.

6000 people a year die from falls at home.
We obviously need legislation.
Handrails everywhere.
Ala the horrendous Space Mutiny and MST3K .
