ATLANTA — An overdose is possible in the death of former Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tommy Hanson, but the cause of his death has yet to be determined, authorities said. Hanson wasn’t breathing when emergency crews tried to help him Sunday at a friend’s home near Atlanta, Coweta County sheriff’s officials wrote in their initial report. They typed “overdose” in a small section titled “crime incident.”
