Affirmative, Lastings...ESPN Radio reported the suicide as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Also mentioned on Jason Smith's national ESPN All Night radio show was the fact that McKinley was the top receiver in South Carolina Gamecocks history.

Re: Denver receiver McKinley found dead
Just because you are a NFL player doesn't make you always so financially secure and things like that depending on what the contract. If you like football it is a dream job, nevertheless he died too young and that is not easy to recover from. Best of luck to the family and team.

Re: Denver receiver McKinley found dead
I bet he loved sports and football. Regardless of the size of his contract, I still think he had life made. Getting paid to play a game would be pretty sweet.
No matter what problems he may have had, it's no excuse for killing himself. A pretty selfish and cowardly act!
You only hurt those that love you. I feel bad for his family!

Re: Denver receiver McKinley found dead
Greg, well said. I lost one of my best friends to suicide last December. He was more depressed then we knew and a few days before he took his life he made a comment similar to McKinley about killing himself. We just thought he was joking too. A very sad situation all around for the Broncos and the players family and friends.
