FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Baseball Hall of Famer Roy Halladay had high levels of amphetamines in his system and was doing extreme acrobatics when he lost control of his small plane and nosedived into the Gulf of Mexico in 2017, killing him, a National Transportation Safety Board report issued Wednesday said.
He probably did not have to worry about not having enough money for the rest of his life...I am sure that he made lots of money during his MLB days...
I am thinking of Rod Beck and Ken Caminiti...They passed away...They both had drug problems...Roy Halladay had a drug problem also...
I am just curious about what kind of amphetamines he had in his system?....and morphine?....drs prescribing this stuff should have their licences pulled....
Speed kills... Again.

There are no old bold pilots.
There are absolutely no old bold stoned pilots.
The finding of drugs in his system has been known since shortly after the accident when the toxicology report was done.
Exactly what I was thinking. 👍
NOTICE that THEY DO NOT NAME the "anti-depressant that can impair judgement".
They do not name the amphetimime or the kind of morphine either.
PhysOrg.com) — The most common type of antidepressants, serotonin enhancers, alters peoples’ moral judgement and leads to a reduction in aggressive behaviour, a study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) has found.
The new research, by scientists at the University of Cambridge’s Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute, discovered that healthy volunteers given drugs which increase their serotonin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), have an increased aversion to harming others, viewing such actions as morally forbidden.

Ms Molly Crockett of the Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute (a Medical Research Council and Wellcome Trust funded initiative) is the lead author of the paper. She said: “Our study suggests that these medications can affect people’s sense of right and wrong, which influences the choices they make in everyday life.

They all impair judgement, but pot is #1.
The potheads all claim it doesn’t , but everyone else knows they’re starting to talk like Forest, Forest Gump.

But KFVS-TV, a CBS-affiliated television station, states:
"Halladay had amphetamine levels about 10 times therapeutic levels in his blood along with a high level of morphine and an anti-depressant that can impair judgement"

Got to protect those billion dollar drug products.
Acrobatics? Was Roy doing these moves in the aisle of the plane? Or...did the author mean "aerobatics"?
Many of the tests are looking for the basic type of molecule...so they are not specific. There are molecules in the body which are metabolites of the original still hanging around...once they know he had an antidepressant on board...they can check his records...otherwise they would have to assay the specific metabolite for each type of parent antidepressant.
when you see the 2 letters AP’, it means they will defend ANYTHING that is wrong from drugs, illegal immigration, abortion to criminals..
“Traces of morphine, amphetamine, Prozac and Ambien were found in Roy Halladay’s system at the time of his death, ACCORDING TO THE AUTOPSY FINDINGS”.

Because no one can get that stuff without a prescription.

Roy didn’t adjust well to retirement.
