The NFL world is distraught over the death of 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. The player&#8217s body was found Thursday morning and there&#8217s maximum secrecy about the cause of his death.

The Dallas Cowboys announced his passing in an official statement:“It is with deep sadness that the Dallas Cowboys announce the tragic passing of Marshawn Kneeland Thursday morning. Marshawn was a beloved teammate, our thoughts and prayers for Marshawn are with his girlfriend Catalina and his family”.

U.S. media reached out to the player&#8217s very shaken agent, Jonathan Perzley: “I ask that you give his loved ones the privacy and compassion they need as they mourn this tremendous loss. I am devastated, my heart is broken for his family, his teammates and all who loved him”.

Kneeland was in his second season with the team, and just three days ago he had scored his first touchdown on Monday night against the Cardinals.
