BREAKING: Dallas Cowboy’s Marion Barber Cause Of Death Revealed, Ruled ‘Accident’
Former Dallas Cowboys player Marion Barber died of an accidental heat stroke, the Collin County medical examiner’s officer said this week.
Barber, 38, was found unresponsive in his Frisco, Texas, apartment on June 1, after police were called to make a welfare check.
“We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III,” the Cowboys said in a statement following the loss. “Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates. Our hearts go out to Marion’s family and friends during this difficult time.”
Some had speculated that Barber suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, commonly known as CTE. The late player’s father Marion Barber II publicly said that his son did not want his brain donated for CTE research.
Before his death, Barber was reportedly hospitalized for mental health concerns on two occasions.
