Dang, same way my uncle went out

He was a fighter pilot in the Gulf war, knew everything about planes. One day in SA, he took up a single engine and crashed upside down after a huge wind gust.

May 14, 1977 – November 7, 2017

Lived in Toronto for 14 years. Came when he was becoming upper echelon. He is THE reason I love the jays.
HOF pitcher and an even better person. This city is grieving right now. It's tragic.

Sounds like drugs could have played a part in his crash/death...

The agony of being a pro in sports. The pain starts at a young age.

Baseball Hall of Famer Roy Halladay was doing extreme acrobatics and had high levels of amphetamines in his system when he lost control of his small plane and nosedived into the Gulf of Mexico in 2017, killing him, a National Transportation Safety Board report issued Wednesday said.

Halladay had amphetamine levels about 10 times therapeutic levels in his blood along with a high level of morphine and an antidepressant that can impair judgment as he performed high-pitch climbs and steep turns, sometimes within 5 feet of the water, the report says about the Nov. 7, 2017, crash.
