Denver Bronco’s Tragedy Kenny McKinley
Denver Bronco’s wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead, Monday, in his home in Arapahoe County, Colorado, of what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The cause of death is still being investigated and has not been officially ruled a suicide; this speculation is based on the gunshot wound.
McKinley had been on the injured reserve list since August due to a knee injury, but no one was aware of what may have been bothering him. He is the second Bronco player to die since 2007.
Cornerback Darrent Williams, died in a drive by shooting January 1, 2007.

Re: Denver Bronco’s Tragedy Kenny McKinley
Thought someone would beat me to it, I heard last night but didn't really know anything yet. It's a shock by all accounts he was a great young man who was always smiling and treated everyone with respect. He was a man who was looking forward to coming back next season.
this is the third death to strike the Broncos since 2007, Darrent Williams as we know and Damien Nash collapsed and died at a pick-up basketball game, just weeks after Williams died

Re: Denver Bronco’s Tragedy Kenny McKinley
Yeah I know....perhaps they need to rethink how they look at training. Perhaps put a bit more into checking and rechecking health issues and mental issues...
My heart is with his family...

Re: Denver Bronco’s Tragedy Kenny McKinley
I do believe they took steps to make sure players don't just drop dead.
For this, first they need to make sure it wasn't an accident, once they figure that out then they'll have to address suicide

Yeah, that is why I said 'mental' as well as physical....
