coco1997 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Horrible news out of the Dominican Republic: Octavio Dotel Dies In Roof Collapse Tragedy - MLB Trade Rumors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Quote Exact details of the tragic situation are difficult to pin down, but it appears hundreds of people were in the venue for a concert when the collapse happened. Dozens of people have been pulled out alive but many have died and the figures are likely to change. Dotel was reportedly trapped for about 11 hours before being rescued and initially survived, but was declared dead after being taken to a hospital. That's incredibly awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That is a shame. Guy was a hard thrower. Had a ton of strikeouts with the Sox in 2008-2009, had a solid ERA both years as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Dotel was a good pitcher. I read he was pulled out of the rubble 6 hours later, former player Nelson Cruz sister who was a governor of one of the states in the DR was also killed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
