"Mead acknowledged that Kay's wife has described Mead and another Angels staffer coming to the Kay home after a family intervention on the last day of the Angels season in 2017 and seeing in Kay's room 60 pills divided up into baggies of 10 pills each, some hidden in socks or shoes. Attorneys for Skaggs' family have argued that the alleged discovery of the pills should have tipped the club off that Kay was providing drugs to players two years before Skaggs death."
"Did he (Kay) tell you that he was dealing drugs or that he gave drugs to Tyler Skaggs? asked Rusty Hardin, an attorney representing Skaggs' family. No sir, Mead answered. When asked by Hardin whether Kay's wife would lie about seeing Mead and the other Angels employee finding the pills in Kay's room, Mead replied that Kay's wife is honest and straightforward,"
Testimony in a wrongful death trial began Oct. 15 in Santa Ana over pitcher Tyler Skaggs' fentanyl-laced counterfeit pill death. Former Angels communications VP Tim Mead testified he did not recall seeing illicit drugs in the home of public relations director Eric Kay. Mead said he observed erratic behavior by Kay but attributed it to mental illness and legally prescribed medication and denied knowing Kay supplied drugs to Skaggs or other players. Kay's wife has described finding 60 pills in baggies in Kay's room after a 2017 intervention. Attorneys contend that discovery should have alerted the club to player drug distribution; Mead said he remembered little of that morning and denied hearing about unlawful drugs.
