FBI Investigating Indianapolis Colts Owner Jim Irsay’s Death, Report Says

Federal grand jury subpoenas seek records on Jim Irsay’s death, focusing on his opioid and ketamine use prescribed by Dr. Harry Haroutunian, amid ongoing investigations.

  • In May, former Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay died at 65 while vacationing at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and a federal grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California seeks records on his death and doctor.
  • Irsay's long history of addiction and a reported late relapse show that December 2023 included two overdoses 12 days apart that hospitalized him for months.
  • Haroutunian allegedly prescribed over 200 opioid pills before Irsay overdosed twice in December 2023, and four people who witnessed treatments said he later added ketamine injections while overseeing care at the hotel.
  • Earlier this month, federal agents spent several days in Indianapolis interviewing multiple people close to Irsay, while Colts Chief Legal Officer Dan Emerson said Thursday the team has not been served with a subpoena.
  • No autopsy was performed and the death certificate cites cardiac arrest from pneumonia and heart issues, while experts note ketamine's controversial treatment and compare it to the Matthew Perry case.
