The Dallas Cowboys NFL franchise is mourning the death of 24-year-old star player Marshawn Kneeland who was found dead of an apparent suicide after evading authorities in his vehicle and fleeing the scene of an accident on foot, policy say.

Frisco police said they are investigating the possible suicide. They said Kneeland didn’t stop his vehicle for Texas Department of Public Safety troopers over a traffic violation.

Authorities lost sight of the vehicle before locating it crashed minutes later. Kneeland fled the crash site on foot and officers said they received word that Kneeland might be suicidal. He was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, about three hours after the crash, police said without specifying where Kneeland’s body was found.
