Efrain Veiga, founder of Yuca restaurant and co-creator of Nuevo Latino cuisine, and partner Billy Bean, a former Major League Baseball player, are calling it quits after 13 years, and there’s already some scandal resulting from the split.

Veiga, 57, had Federico Schostak, 26, over “for a sexual counter” on May 15. The two fell asleep next to one another, according to the police report, and then in the morning, Veiga tried to wake Schostak only to find he wasn’t breathing and had no pulse. Veiga called 911. He told police Schostak had been drinking from a bottle of water, that Schostak claimed was spiked with GHB, commonly called “the date rape drug.”

The Miami-Dade medical examiner's office is awaiting toxicology studies before classifying Schostak's death.

Viega and Bean’s Miami Beach home is now for sale for $1.595 million.
