Former MLB player Jeremy Giambi, brother of New York Yankees star Jason Giambi, was found dead on Wednesday at his parents' home in Southern California at age 47, according to his agent.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Giambi died from suicide after they received an emergency call on Wednesday morning requesting medical assistance at the home in Claremont.

Autopsy results are pending, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

Giambi played between 1998 and 2003 for the Kansas City Royals, Philadelphia Phillies, Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox.

His best season was with the Athletics in 2001, where he played alongside Jason. Jeremy Giambi was also a member of the 2002 A's, which were the subject of Michael Lewis's 2003 bestseller, 'Moneyball,' and the 2011 Brad Pitt film adaptation.

In a statement, the Athletics wrote, 'We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of a member of our Green and Gold family, Jeremy Giambi. We offer our condolences to Jeanne, Jason, and his family and friends.'

Sad news. I used to have his autograph and remember seeing him play years back.
