Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber has died at the age of 38.
Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco said Wednesday they made a welfare check at an apartment"believed to be leased" by Barber and were investigating an unattended death there. The Cowboys, who have their headquarters in Frisco, said they were"heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III."
The former Minnesota player, a fourth-round draft pick by Dallas in 2005, had 24 touchdowns in 2006-07 despite starting just one game those two seasons. Barber's career high was 14 TDs in 2006, when he rushed for just 654 yards. Three years after his career ended, Barber was detained and taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation. Police in Mansfield, another Dallas suburb, said it wasn't clear what led to the calls that prompted their response.
