Denver Bronco's WR Kenny McKinley Found Dead At Home

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead in his home Monday in an apparent suicide. Authorities were called to McKinley's house at 3:45 pm to find the wide-out dead in his bedroom by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. McKinley was a second year receiver who was currently on the team's IR list with a left knee injury.


Coach Josh McDaniels issued this statement: "Kenny had a promising future on the football field, but more importantly, he was a great teammate whose smile and personality could light up the room. This is a tragic loss for our football team, and his family is in all of our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time."

The Bronco's have been haunted by some recent incidents as both cornerback Darrent Williams and running back Damien Nash were recently killed. Most players chose not to comment on the death.
