Medical Examiner Concludes Kile Suffered From Blocked Arteries
KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: A day after the sudden death of St. Louis Cardinal's pitcher Darryl Kile, an autopsy reveals he suffered from severely blocked arteries. We're going to go to our Brian Palmer at Chicago's Wrigley Field for more details. A lot of people wanting to know about this, Brian.</s>BRIAN PALMER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, indeed, Kyra. Right behind me, you'll see the tribute to Darryl Kile right on the board here at Wrigley Field. As you said, the medical examiner's autopsy saying that Darryl Kile had a very severe form of heart disease. Kile had a 80 to 90 percent narrowing of the branches of the coronary arteries, two of the three branches of his coronary arteries. The medical examiner is not yet saying that this is the definitive cause of death. They say they have other toxicological tests to conduct, including tests on a substance found in the room that could be marijuana, but the medical examiner saying that they believe that has nothing to do with the cause of death. Now, last night's game was canceled, but in less than 12 -- in roughly three hours, the game here between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs is expected to step off as planned. It may be a bit more somber than your average Wrigley Field game. The flags will be at half-mast. There'll be a moment of silence for Darryl Kile, and, apparently, there'll be no music and no seventh-inning stretch -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right. Brian Palmer, thank you so much.
