Former Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears running back Marion Barber III has died at the age of 38, the Cowboys said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

"We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III," the team said. "Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates. Our hearts go out to Marion's family and friends during this difficult time."

 

The cause of Barber's death is unknown.

 

Police in Frisco, Texas, said in a statement that they responded to a welfare concern on Wednesday at an apartment they believed to be leased by Barber. The police said they were investigating an unattended death at the location but didn't identify the individual in their statement.

But his family will not donate his brain for CTE research and there will be no extensive autopsy, according to his wishes. “He was real specific in his will that he didn’t want that,” Barber II said. “We are going to respect that. But in the condition his body was in, according to the examiner, that probably would have been a moot point because of the decomposition.”
