New information is being uncovered surrounding Marshawn Kneeland‘s tragic passing.
Shortly before he was found dead in Texas on Nov. 6 from an apparent suicide, the Dallas Cowboys defensive end was involved in a car chase with authorities. It has now been revealed that the NFL star was driving at speeds exceeding 145 mph at various points during the pursuit, according to a police report obtained by multiple outlets.
Kneeland was first observed speeding by a Texas Department of Public Safety officer around 10:33 p.m. on Nov. 5, which prompted police to pursue his vehicle, as stated in the police report.
During the chase, authorities reported that the athlete made “several unsafe lane changes” while reaching speeds “higher than 145 miles per hour” as he passed other drivers, according to the document obtained by TMZ.
After crashing into another vehicle and fleeing on foot, Kneeland went missing for hours before Public Safety troopers and Frisco Police Department officers discovered his body in the early hours of Nov. 6, according to Texas DPS. He was 24.
