FBI probes Jim Irsay death over prescription drugs, ketamine use and doctor relationship: report
Federal investigators have launched a probe into the death of longtime Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, examining his use of prescription drugs and ketamine and the role of a California addiction doctor who treated him in the months before his death, according to a report.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI issued a federal grand jury subpoena earlier this month seeking records related to Irsay’s death, his alleged use of illegal and prescription drugs, and his relationship with Dr. Harry Haroutunian, a California-based addiction specialist who treated him before his death.

Investigators also spent several days in Indianapolis earlier this month as part of the inquiry.
“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.
Irsay, who became owner of the Indianapolis Colts in 1997, died in May at age 65.
