Denver Broncos Receiver Found Dead
By Wyatt Earp | September 21, 2010
. McKinley was a promising receiver and had a young son.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said authorities were called to McKinley’s apartment in Centennial at 3:35 p.m. local time and found his body in the second-floor master bedroom. He said detectives believe McKinley, 23, was killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Robinson said authorities were called by a female friend of McKinley’s who discovered the body after returning from an errand with his child. The sheriff declined to say if authorities found a suicide note.
McKinley’s death is the latest in a series of tragedies for the Broncos in recent years. Cornerback Darrent Williams was slain in a drive-by shooting on New Year’s Day 2007 and three months later backup running back Damien Nash collapsed and died after a charity basketball game in St. Louis.
Please pray for McKinley’s family.

Steroids are bad news. This type of story is being repeated far too often.

Danny – Agreed.
Robbie – Terrible – for the kid and the family.
Ingineer66 – Happens in wrestling a lot, too.

Kenny was a former South Carolina Gamecock who holds the school record for receiving yards. He was at the SC/ GA game two games ago on the sideline. He was talking with our current players, encouraging our team to victory over the Bulldogs. Good Kid, with a smile on his face. RIP Kenny!! We’re gonna miss you.

Wes S. – Yeah, it’s a real shame. Guy had the world by the balls, and this happens.
Rick – Thank you.
Roger – I read about that, He was a real stud at SC, and was expected to grow into a terrific received in Denver.
