Looks like he died the Cardinal Way (http://m.stltoday.com/sports/baseball/professional/official-taveras-was-drunk-during-fatal-crash/article_20eeb826-00cc-5351-b9c5-7c51aa6e8bd9.html?mobile_touch=true).
QuoteTessie Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general's office, told The Associated Press that toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level of .287 — more than five times the legal limit of .05 when he lost control of his car Oct. 26 on a highway in the tourist region of Puerto Plata.
She says the 22-year-old Taveras was "legally intoxicated when he crashed."

Rather impressive to have an OBP (.287) exceed one's career OBP (.279), even if the latter was paltry.
