Nick Adenhart is the Angels player who was killed in 2009 in a drunk driving accident.

In 1993, Indians pitchers Steve Olin and Tim Crews were killed in a boating accident during spring training. Bobby Ojeda was serious injured, but survived.

Darryl Kile was found dead in his hotel room in June 2002 while pitching for for the Cardinals.
