Overview
- The Post reports at least three overdoses in recent years: one in Turks and Caicos in 2020, another at Irsay’s Carmel, Indiana home in December 2023, and a third 12 days later near Miami that led to a months‑long hospitalization.
- Five people with direct knowledge told the Post they saw Irsay take opioid pills, and four said they witnessed ketamine injections, with the newspaper also reviewing prescription records, flight data and law‑enforcement reports.
- California addiction specialist Dr. Harry Haroutunian, who treated Irsay, prescribed opioids and administered ketamine, and later certified his death as cardiac arrest due to acute pneumonia and heart conditions.
- Beverly Hills police said the hotel scene showed no signs of overdose or drug use, and officials did not conduct an autopsy or toxicology tests after determining the death was not suspicious.
- The Post says the Colts and Irsay offered alternate public explanations for health absences, while Irsay’s daughters and team executives declined detailed comment and requested privacy, with the club’s counsel defending its handling as appropriate.
