Volkswacht Bodensee - Dallas Cowboys' Marshawn Kneeland dies at 24

Kneeland, in his second year with the Cowboys, scored the first NFL touchdown of his career in a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday.

Frisco Police Department in Texas said Kneeland appeared to have taken his own life after he was involved in a vehicle pursuit and a multi-agency search on Wednesday night.

His vehicle was found crashed and he was thought to have fled the scene on foot.

Police were informed during the search that Kneeland had "expressed suicidal intentions". He was found dead at 1:31am local time on Thursday.

The Cowboys said in a statement: "It is with extreme sadness that the Dallas Cowboys share that Marshawn Kneeland tragically passed away this morning.

"Marshawn was a beloved team-mate and member of our organisation. Our thoughts and prayers regarding Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family."

Kneeland missed six games of his rookie season in 2024 due to injury, but still played in 11 games with one start.

He had played in seven of the Cowboys' games this season.
