TMZ obtained videoAn autopsy on Roy Halladay, the retired major league baseball star who died last fall in the crash of his light sport airplane, shows the former athlete survived the crash into the Gulf of Mexico and died from drowning and blunt force trauma, according to an autopsy report. The video shows that at least three boats were very close to the barely submerged airplane some time before the Coast Guard arrived. A video shot by one of the boaters right before the accident, Halladay's plane is seen maneuvering at low altitude before it hits the water. "Our office is not in a position (to answer that) because our physicians don’t treat the living and we are not trauma physicians," Pellan told me when I asked if Halladay could have been saved. Pellan said that question is best answered by a trauma physician who could look at the injuries from the impact and determine if they were survivable.
