Federal investigators have opened an investigation 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 subpoena to a federal grand jury 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 their investigation.
“I understand that subpoenas have been issued, but not against me, or against the Colts, or against any of our current employees,” Dan Emerson, the Colts’ legal director, told the Washington Post on Thursday, declining to comment further.
Irsay, who became owner of the Indianapolis Colts in 1997, died in May at the age of 65.
