PHOENIX � An Arizona appellate court ruling has disclosed that former Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Scott Schoeneweis� wife died from an overdose of cocaine and an anesthetic, lidocaine.

A three-judge Court of Appeals panel made that disclosure Tuesday in a ruling on whether an autopsy report and other records on Gabrielle Schoeneweis� death must be disclosed under Arizona�s public records law. The ruling says further proceedings are needed to determine that.
Gabrielle Schoeneweis was found dead on May 20 in the master bedroom of the couple�s home in the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills.
An attorney for Schoeneweis argued in a lawsuit filed against state and Maricopa County officials that releasing information on the cause of death would cause emotional suffering for the family.
