Looks like he died the Cardinal Way.

Tessie Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general's office, told The Associated Press that toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level of .287 — more than five times the legal limit of .05 when he lost control of his car Oct. 26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata.

She says the 22-year-old Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed."

Rather impressive to have an OBP (.287)  exceed one's career OBP (.279), even if the latter was paltry.

Reminds me of the Onion headline from "Our Dumb Century":

PANK!
