McGregor's family issues statement

Baseball Betting Lines

08/30/2010 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The family of late Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor issued a statement Monday, saying he died of a rare virus that infected the heart muscle.

McGregor was found dead in a Salt Lake City hotel room on April 20, while he was on a business trip with other team executives. He was just 48 years old.

On Monday, McGregor's family gave details on the cause of his death, saying the virus disrupted the electrical pathways that signal the heart to beat properly.

"The heart muscle may have recovered from the viral attack had these electrical pathways not been destroyed, but the muscle may have been permanently weakened and destined for eventual heart failure," the statement said. "This infectious process most likely occurred during the last week of Keli's life, causing nothing more than flu-like symptoms."

The statement said McGregor was an advocate for early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease, lived an active life, and had his cardiovascular status evaluated regularly.

"Like you, we miss Keli every minute of every day," the statement said. "We're so very grateful for the love and support shown to our family and we wanted to share this information with all of those who, like us, have searched for answers."

McGregor was named Rockies president in October 2001, and joined the organization after serving as associate athletic director at Arkansas.

The native of Iowa who grew up in suburban Denver was a two-time All-American tight end at Colorado State and was taken in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL Draft by Denver. He played for Denver, Indianapolis and Seattle before retiring.
