This young man must have not been well, was it noticable to his teammates? You would think there were warning signs, but we don't know if there were, only that locker room and his family would know. He died after a police chase, if you watched MNF, you saw him score his one and only defensive touchdown.




Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase on Wednesday night, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Troopers attempted to pull over Kneeland, 24, following an alleged traffic violation on the Dallas North Tollway around 10:30 p.m., according to the Texas DPS. Kneeland allegedly refused to stop and troopers pursued the vehicle until losing sight of the vehicle and stopping the chase, officials said.

The vehicle was later found abandoned after a crash on the Dallas Parkway, the officials said. Kneeland was found dead "in the immediate area" with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Texas DPS said.

Wow, so sad. I hadn't heard how he died. RIP young man.

 

[Muhammed]

He crashed. Maybe he was injured and in such excruciating pain that he just couldn't bear it.

I have a feeling that there is a lot of back story with this one.

Steroids are a hell of a drug.

Steroids are a hell of a drug.

Yeah, I wondered that too.
We'll see.
Regardless, it's sad to see.

I had just seen a report about this. Very sad.

I wonder why he’d be so shaken by the incident that he’d find suicide to be the only option left to him.

The first thing that went through my head was did he have CTE

 

[Unkotare]

He did not take the death of his mother well. That might have set things in motion.
