Latest News Update ABout Nfl Player Found Dead: Nfl Player Found Dead Update Denver Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley has been found dead in his home, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities have said.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said authorities were called to McKinley's home by a woman friend of the player who found his body after returning from an errand with his child.
He didn't say if investigators found a suicide note.
"It's still part of our investigation and probably nothing we'll talk about right now," he said.
The Broncos have endured a series of tragedies in recent years.
Cornerback Darrent Williams was killed in a drive-by shooting on New Year's Day 2007 and three months later backup running back Damien Nash collapsed and died after a charity basketball game in St. Louis, Missouri.
"Everyone with the Broncos is shocked and saddened by the loss of Kenny McKinley," Pat Bowlen, owner of the NFL team, said in a statement. "He was part of the Broncos' family and will be greatly missed by our organization. My most heartfelt condolences go out to Kenny's family and friends."
The Broncos said coach Josh McDaniels would meet with the media on Tuesday.
