SALT LAKE CITY - Colorado Rockies President Keli S. McGregor was found dead in a hotel room at the Grand America Hotel Tuesday morning.
McGregor, 48, was found unresponsive about 9 a.m. after business associates called hotel staff to check on him.
"We responded along with fire and EMS personnel," said Salt Lake City police Detective Rick Wall. "And they found the individual unconscious. They were unable to revive him."
Wall said there's no evidence of foul play and it appears McGregor died of natural causes. The investigation has now been turned over to the State Medical Examiner's Office.
The Rockies said McGregor was on a business trip with team chairman and CEO Charlie Monfort and executive vice president Greg Feasel. They were in Salt Lake as part of a promotion campaign.
In a statement Monfort said, "Words cannot describe the level of shock and disbelief that we all are feeling this morning at the loss of Keli. Our thoughts, our prayers are with Lori and the entire family as we all try to cope and understand how such a tragic loss could occur with such a wonderful man."
McGregor was a two-time All-American tight end at Colorado State. He was drafted by the Broncos in the fourth round of the 1985 NFL draft. He played for the Denver, Indianapolis and Seattle before retiring.
McGregor was named president of the Rockies on Oct. 18, 2001.
He was born in Primgahr, Iowa. McGregor and his wife, Lori, have four children.
