Former Auburn and San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Terry Beasley, a College Football Hall of Famer, died on Wednesday after what authorities were describing as a potential suicide, according to the Associated Press. He was 73.
"We got a call at 5:20 (Wednesday) afternoon and officers found Mr. Beasley with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound," Moody Police chief Reece Smith said.
Beasley reportedly suffered a number of concussions and head injuries during his career and was one of the plaintiffs in the head trauma lawsuit against the NFL that was eventually settled in 2016.
