The Atlanta Braves have confirmed that former Major League pitcher Tommy Hanson has died at age 29.

Hanson pitched four seasons with the Braves and one with the Los Angeles Angels.

A group of Hanson's former teammates was nearby when he died at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta.

A source told WSB-TV, the ABC affiliate in Atlanta, that Hanson had trouble breathing early Sunday morning and was taken to a hospital. He suffered catastrophic organ failure and had been in a coma, according to multiple reports.

Very sad to hear.
When I went to bed last night I knew he was in a coma according to reports but I never expected him to pass away within hours.

Very sad to hear this. I wonder what caused his organs to fail so quickly?

Still no actual details with the exception of it being some sorta overdose.

The autopsy has been completed on former Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson, the GBI said Wednesday. But no preliminary findings were released and likely won’t be until the toxicology testing is completed, which could take up to three months.

“It’s sort of like a jigsaw puzzle, and you’ve got to have all of the pieces together to make a determination,” Coweta County Coroner Richard Hawk told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday.

Hanson, 29, died late Monday at Piedmont Hospital, one day after he was found not breathing at a friend’s Newnan-area home, according to police. Brandon Bond called 911 Sunday morning to report Hanson was not breathing, a Coweta County Sheriff’s Office report states.

The initial police report does not provide specifics about what Hanson may have overdosed on, but lists “overdose” as the possible crime. The report does not include any additional details about why “overdose” was listed as a possible cause.
