Andy Reid’s son died from heroin overdose

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. Although Omar Elkhamra, the team physician of the Philadelphia Eagles, put efforts to revive him, the efforts of the doctor were in vain. The county coroner concluded that this young man (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a serious tragedy for the family of the coach. Moreover, the case caused some problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions related to application of steroids. Several anabolic steroids were found by local police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were named by police. It was revealed that Garrett Reid had Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these medications were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, some suspicions appeared. It was noted that the coach’s son probably provided these forbidden preparations to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, Garrett Reid’s death turned out to be a trouble for the whole sport organization.
Some of anabolic steroids found at Garrett Reid’ dormitory room are fast-acting. These preparations are commonly liked by sportspersons that submit to drug testing. Since they are excreted from the body in short period of time after intake, it is more difficult to catch those that have taken these drugs. Thus, it is suspected that such medicines must have been taken by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although suspicions exist, nothing has been proven. It was not disclosed yet whether anabolic steroids were found in the system of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman claimed that he would report when it will be clear whether anabolic steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.
