Very sad and I'm wondering if the poor guy didn't take his own life. I don't know the back story other than he was struggling but I do find it amazing how Athletes can make millions and then pass away fairly destitute. I don't know if MB fits into this catagory but when I hear of an athlete who made millions living in an apartment, I'm thinking the guy's life took a downward spiral.

That was my first thought as well. The fact that it was in Frisco makes me wonder if the team was putting him up.

I think it was Dez Bryant who mentioned months ago MBIII was not doing well at all.

"With the way the world is going, it's 4th and 2 in heaven from our own 8 yard line. God needed someone to get that 2 yards without giving up a safety."

From one of the FB religious pages.

This one really hit home. Barber always played hard & gave his all. He died too young. God must have been in need of a great back up there for that Angels football team.

Yeah... heatstroke. In an air conditioned apartment? Nobody's explaining. Heard this the other day and still waiting.

Broke and couldn't afford to turn on the AC? Sadly, there are a lot of people like that.
