FBI Opens Probe Into Jim Irsay’s Death, Seeks Records on Treating Doctor

Agents are examining prescribing practices in the months before the Colts owner died.

Overview

  • A federal grand jury subpoena issued earlier this month seeks records on Jim Irsay’s death, his illegal and prescription drug use, and his relationship with addiction specialist Dr. Harry Haroutunian.
  • FBI personnel spent several days in Indianapolis in January interviewing people close to Irsay as part of the inquiry.
  • Irsay’s death certificate, signed by Haroutunian, cites cardiac arrest from acute pneumonia with contributing heart disease, and no autopsy or toxicology testing was performed.
  • Prior reporting detailed large opioid prescriptions and ketamine injections under Haroutunian’s care, including more than 200 pills before two overdoses in December 2023.
  • The Colts say neither the team nor current employees have been subpoenaed, and the FBI has declined to comment.
