Yikes! Investigators believe legendary pitcher Mark Fidrych, who was found dead at his Massachusetts farm on Monday, was asphyxiated when his clothes became tangled in the moving parts of his truck's engine, according to the Worcester County district attorney.

Fidrych, 54, was found underneath a 10-wheel Mack dump truck at his property in Northborough. An autopsy performed this week found that Fidrych died of accidental asphyxia by suffocation when his clothes were pulled into the truck's power takeoff shaft, according to district attorney Joseph D. Early Jr.

The All-Star pitcher became a fan favorite across the country during two seasons with the Detroit Tigers. Fidrych was an eccentric ballplayer who was known to whisper to the baseball before throwing his pitches and clear dirt around the mound between innings.
