Overview
- Camela Kay told jurors she informed the Angels’ traveling secretary in 2019 that Eric Kay had pills purportedly intended for Tyler Skaggs weeks before the pitcher died.
- She recounted seeing players and staff passing out pills on team flights during trips she took between 2013 and 2016, describing gambling, drinking and pill sharing.
- Kay described a 2017 home visit after a family intervention where then-communications chief Tim Mead allegedly emerged with multiple small baggies of white pills from Eric Kay’s bedroom.
- Under cross-examination, defense attorneys questioned her ability to identify pills or observe activity on flights and noted she was living separately within the home starting in 2017, which she acknowledged.
- The wrongful-death case continues in Santa Ana as Skaggs’ family seeks $118 million, with the Angels maintaining they lacked knowledge of illicit drug use and Eric Kay already serving a 22-year federal sentence for supplying a fentanyl-laced pill.
