The Indianapolis Colts have confirmed the FBI is investigating the death of former owner Jim Irsay. The probe focuses on a California doctor who reportedly prescribed him pain pills and ketamine. The team has not been contacted by investigators and no subpoenas have been issued.

Irsay, who died in May at 65 from cardiac arrest, was open about his past struggles with substance abuse. The Washington Post first reported the FBI is seeking records about his death, his substance use, and his relationship with Dr. Harry Haroutunian, who was reportedly treating him at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Following Irsay's passing, his three daughters assumed ownership of the Colts. This investigation adds a somber layer to the legacy of a beloved but troubled figure in the NFL, with potential legal ramifications for those involved in his medical care. The league and team await further details.
