An employee of American baseball franchise the Los Angeles Angels has been charged in connection to the death of former pitcher Tyler Skaggs.

The Angelsโ€™ former communications director Eric Prescott Kay faces 20 years in prison if found guilty of conspiracy to distribute fentanyl, a powerful opiod.

Ex-Angels player Skaggs died aged 27 last year after overdosing on what medical examiners determined was a mixture of fentanyl, alcohol and oxycodone. He was found dead in a Texas hotel room after choking on the contents of his stomach.

His death occurred just hours before the Angelsโ€™ scheduled game against the Texas Rangers.

It is alleged Kay supplied Skaggs with the fentanyl that contributed to his death. (news.com.au)
