Hall of famer Halladay performed stunts and was on drugs before fatal plane crash

  • Former Phillies and Blue Jays pitcher was killed in 2017
  • Report finds risky behavior before fatal plane crash

Baseball Hall of Famer Roy Halladay had high-levels of amphetamines in his system and was performing stunts when he lost control of his plane and nosedived into Tampa Bay in November 2017, a National Transportation Safety Board report issued on Wednesday said. The crash killed Halladay.

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 as he performed high-pitch climbs and steep turns, sometimes within five feet of the water, the report says.
