The NFL world was rocked on the morning of Nov. 6, when the Dallas Cowboys announced the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. Later in the day, the Frisco (Texas) Police Department provided further details regarding Kneeland's passing.
A second-round draft pick out of Western Michigan University last year, Kneeland, 24, had started three games in his second professional season and found himself temporarily in the spotlight of the Cowobys' Nov. 3 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at AT&T Stadium.
Further information is expected to become available in the coming days and weeks. For now, here's what we know about what happened to Kneeland.
Frisco Police have characterized Kneeland's death as a "possible suicide," saying he suffered an "apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound" and "had expressed suicidal ideations."
