Darryl Kile never gave the St. Louis Cardinals any indication of past medical problems in his family, the team physician said Thursday night.
Dr. George Paletta also said he doesn't believe medical screening by major league baseball will change as a result of Kile's death at age 33.
The preliminary coroner's report listed the possible cause of death as an 80-90 percent blockage of two of the coronary arteries.
"No one anticipates making wholesale changes in their preseason screening based simply on this unfortunate tragedy," Paletta said.
