Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead; suicide suspected - KDVR
DENVER - Denver Broncos wide receiver Kenny McKinley was found dead from an apparent suicide, sources tell FOX31 News. The body of McKinley, 23, was found in Arapahoe County. No further details were immediately available. FOX31's Josina Anderson was the first to report the news. McKinley, a fifth round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, had struggled to stay healthy during his two years with the Broncos. Limited to kick returns, he was placed on injury reserve with a knee injury in 2009. He was also placed on injury reserve prior to the start of the 2010 regular season. McKinley is the third Broncos player to die a sudden death in the past four years. On New Year's Day 2007, cornerback Darrent Williams was killed in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver. In Feb. 2007, running back Damien Nash, 24, collapsed and died during a charity basketball game. McKinley, a native of Baker, Louisiana, was a standout player at South Carolina and climbed into the SEC record books with 207 receptions, the third-most in conference history, according to NFL.com. He also became just the 12th player in league history to collect more than 2,700 receiving yards.

Re: Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
That is crazy, and such a waste of a life. I do not understand suicide. Never have, and I really think it is the most cowardly thing you could do.

Re: Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
Feel for his family though, thoughts and prayers are with them.
He was a good player at South Carolina, I remember he was lights out.

Re: Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
So sad. During my freshman year of college one of my close childhood friends took his own life. It was so gut-wrenching and terribly difficult to deal with. Suicide is a baffling and tragic act.
As an SEC guy, my Gators had to face Kenny McKinley every year when he was at South Carolina. Heck of a football player. This is horrible tragedy. I hope his family and friends find some peace. RIP Kenny.

Re: Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
What could poses a man (other than not being able to stay healthy) with an NFL career to kill themselves?

Money is just an end to gaining "utility". Sometimes just having a lot of money does not necessarily translate into "utility".

Re: Broncos WR Kenny McKinley found dead
Me too. That team and town just have had devastating losses. Goodell should make some sort addition to the rookie symposium or have more IDK to prevent or counsel these young men. I hope their families find peace.
Just any death in the NFL takes me back to Sean. |
