New Police Records Detail Marshawn Kneeland’s Final Hours as Autopsy Is Withheld in Ongoing Probe

Officials are keeping the autopsy sealed because they say the case is part of an active criminal investigation.

Overview

  • Texas DPS reports say troopers attempted a traffic stop around 10:33 p.m., a brief pursuit was terminated, and Kneeland’s car was later found crashed and abandoned.
  • Incident records indicate Kneeland reached speeds above 145 mph before the crash, and officers found an empty holster in his vehicle.
  • Authorities say Kneeland was located hours later and pronounced dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, with TMZ reporting his body was found in a portable toilet.
  • Frisco police cite guidance from the Texas Attorney General in withholding the autopsy results, noting the matter is tied to a pending criminal investigation after the exam was conducted on Nov. 18.
  • ESPN-obtained WMU police documents show welfare checks in 2020 and 2023, including a report of suicidal ideation and a coach-initiated check in which Kneeland temporarily surrendered a firearm pending counseling clearance.
