It’s unclear whether Perez was married or was in an active relationship at the time of his death. However, he was a father. He had a son called Odalis Jr. Pérez. Information about the mother of his son is unavailable
Odalis Perez, a former major league pitcher, died Thursday in a terrible accident at his home in the Dominican Republic, according to several media reports. He was 44 years old.
According to Perez’s attorney, Walin Batista, the left-hander fell from a ladder while alone at home. Perez was discovered by his brother after he arrived at the house.
“We don’t know the exact cause of death, but everything points to Odalis falling down a ladder,” Batista told ESPN. “It’s a tragedy.”
Perez played in the major leagues for ten years, beginning with Atlanta at the age of 20 in 1998. After three seasons with the Braves, Perez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers as part of a four-player deal that sent Gary Sheffield to Atlanta.
