    Greg Goossen, a former major league catcher who was signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers at 18 and led a colorful life after his baseball career by working as a private detective, boxing trainer and character actor, has died. He was 65.

    His brother, Michael, said Monday that one of Goossen's daughters found him dead Saturday at his Sherman Oaks home after he did not show up for a photo session related to his induction into his high school's Hall of Fame.

    This is the second Dodger to pass away in the past week. Duke Snider being the first.
