Garrett Reid, the 29-year-old son of Philadelphia Eagles Coach Andy Reid, was found dead recently.
He was discovered, unresponsive, at his dorm room at Leigh University.
He was there with his wife Tammy assisting the Eagles training camp.
The Eagles Team owner said:
“The news is heartbreaking for everyone in the Eagles family. Our hearts go out to Andy, his wife, Tammy and their children.”
The Chief of Police said:
“Upon arrival attempts were made to revive the individual. They were unsuccessful. There were no suspicious activities.”
Garrett was no stranger to troubles.
He had a drug fueled past and was even put in jail in 2007 following a high-speed car crash when he was on heroin, with over 200 pills in his car.
Garrett once said to a judge at his sentence hearing, an eerie prophecy of his own future:
“I don’t want to die doing drugs. I don’t want to be that kid who was the son of the head coach of the Eagles, who was spoiled and on drugs and OD’d and just faded into oblivion.”
Wow. That’s creepy.
This is so sad. Our hearts and thoughts go out to Andy, Garret’s family and all the Eagles family.
