Tennessee Titans wide receiver O.J. Murdock committed suicide this morning in front of the Tampa high school he graduated from, according to the Tampa Police Department. He was 25 years old.

According to a news release distributed by the Tampa police, Orenthal James Murdock was found in his car at approximately 8:30 a.m. in front of Middleton High School. He had suffered an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was transported to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition.

Murdock was pronounced dead at 10:43 a.m.

After Murdock did not report to the Titans’ training camp last week, coach Mike Munchak said Murdock had been excused for “personal reasons.” No details have emerged of the issues that Murdock was dealing with.

An undrafted free agent who signed with the Titans last year, Murdock missed the entire season with an Achilles injury. Murdock began his college career at South Carolina, where he played for two years, then transferred to Fort Hays State, where he played two more years.

He was a teammate of Kenny McKinley's at South Carolina who committed suicide a couple years ago. Sad.

Named him after O.J. Simpson. Who would've thought that could go wrong?

Well, rumor has it Cassel did try to shoot himself, but as usual with his accuracy he shot some guy standing nearby.

I hope you find your time here to be enjoyable and entertaining. If you'll accept that the more sensitive the subject the greater the odds someone here is going to make a joke about it and someone else is going to laugh you'll be well on your way.

If guns were banned in America this never would have happened. I bet he was carrying a fully automatic assault rifle with a 100rd magazine.

Do we know the whereabouts of Cassel at the time of Murdock's apparently "self inflicted" gunshot?

Wrong, he sensed pressure and dropped the gun.

I'll come up and show him. Only been to Montreal but loved it. Would love to visit the non-urban Canadian countryside as well as the other big cities.
