Kansas City, Mo. ? Darrell Porter, eulogized last week as an affable big-league catcher who overcame drug and alcohol addictions, had cocaine in his system when he died, according to autopsy results released Monday.

Porter, 50, who played for four major league teams and was the MVP of the 1982 World Series, was found dead Aug. 5 next to his car in a park.

Jackson County medical examiner Dr. Thomas Young said Porter had a level of cocaine in his system “typical of someone who uses (cocaine) recreationally.” He would not be more specific, saying measurements of cocaine in the body after death can be unreliable and can vary depending on where blood is drawn. It was unclear when Porter had taken the drug, Young said.

Porter did not die of an overdose, Young said, but of a condition called “excited delirium,” which causes excessive body temperature, “behavior that is agitated, bizarre and potentially violent,” and stopped Porter’s heart.
