Keli McGregor, a former football star who was president of the baseball Colorado Rockies since 2001, was found dead in a Salt Lake City hotel earlier today.

McGregor was only 49 years old, and his death has sent a shockwave throughout Major League Baseball tonight.

Rockies chairman and CEO Charlie Monfort, who was with McGregor on a business trip in Salt Lake City when McGregor was found dead in his hotel room Tuesday morning, spoke for the organization, and spoke from the heart.

McGregor was 48. He is survived by his wife, Lori, and four children.

Salt Lake City Police Det. Rick Wall said officers were called to the Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City around 9 a.m. MT Tuesday morning.   When associates were unable to reach McGregor. Wall said members of the fire department and paramedics were unable to revive McGregor, who was in Salt Lake City with Monfort and executive vice president Greg Feasel.

Wall said there was no suspicion of foul play and McGregor's death was "consistent with natural causes." The investigation has been turned over to the Utah State Medical Examiner's Office, which is standard in such cases.
