Former MLB pitcher Charles Haeger died one day after he was named a suspect in his the murder of his ex-girlfriend, and MLB fans are in shock. According to a police report, Haeger was found near the Grand Canyon’s South Rim and died from “an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.” He was the pitching coach of the Chicago Cubs AA affiliate in Arizona.
In a report by E! News, police responded to “sounds of shots” in a Phoenix, Arizona suburb and found “an adult female deceased,” who was identified as Danielle Breed. It was then reported that Breed’s roommate saw Haeger leaving her room with a handgun and then “pointed the handgun at the roommate.” That led to the roommate escaping from the residence and was able to get a neighbor to call 9-1-1. Breed was reportedly seeking a restraining order against Haeger.

I’m not here to say whether he did or didn’t do what he was suspected of. At the end of the day there are 2 families affected by such a terrible tragedy. Very sad.

Did what so many cowardly men do in these situations. It’s cowardly to not seek help when you’re depressed/angry/traumatized over a break up and it’s cowardly to punish your ex, kill your ex, essentially say if I can’t have you, no-one can. He’s a coward. Sorry for all loved ones
