FBI probes Jim Irsay death over prescription drugs, ketamine use and doctor relationship: report

Investigators also spent several days in Indianapolis earlier this month as part of the inquiry.

The FBI declined to comment on the probe.

"I do understand that there have been some subpoenas issued, but not to me, the Colts or any of our current employees," Colts Chief Legal Officer Dan Emerson told the Washington Post on Thursday, declining to comment further.

Isray's death certificate was signed by Haroutunian, who said the exec died of cardiac arrest caused by acute pneumonia, with the two heart conditions as contributing factors. However, no official autopsy was ever performed.

Irsay, who became owner of the Colts in 1997, died in May at age 65.

Irsay had several health issues over the course of his life and even battled drug and alcohol addiction, once admitting he had been to rehab "at least 15 times."

According to the Washington Post, Haroutunian allegedly prescribed over 200 opioid pills before Irsay's December 2023 overdose. One overdose took place at his Indianapolis home and another at a Miami rental home. Haroutunian also allegedly prescribed ketamine to the owner. 

Irsay was arrested in 2014 and pleaded guilty to operating while intoxicated (OWI), which led to a six-game suspension and a $500,000 fine from the NFL. He said his arrest was partly due to being a White billionaire.

Over his tenure running the day-to-day operations of the organization, Irsay won 258 games, the fourth-most in the NFL in that span. He also won 10 division titles, went 1-1 in Super Bowls and made the playoffs 18 times.
