(NECN: Nashville, Tenn.) - Former Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair was found shot dead, suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the head in downtown Nashville, according to a report by NewsChannel5.com.

The report cited police as saying that the body of a female was found and that it appeared to be a double homicide.

McNair played 11 seasons with the Titans franchise, two while the team was located in Houston and known as the Oilers.

He played his final two season with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring after the 2007 campaign.

Is it just me or have there been a row of celebrities dying recently?

I don't think it's just you. The oddest thing is how varied the causes of death are on top of the sheer number over the last week and a half.

Ed McMahon: Health Problems including broken neck
Farrah Fawcett: Cancer
Michael Jackson: Kind of unknown so far. Maybe drugs, maybe heart problems.
Billy Mays: Pulmonary embolism
Karl Malden: Old age
Steve McNair: Murdered
 
Not only that.. but it isn't like one chapter of celebrities are "about that age" to die.

Most of these have been untimely, as it were.
 
Its a grand conspiracy.
 
Its Bush's fault. ;)

I am bummed:( R.I.P. Steve!
 
How tragic. In his own home. Hopefully they catch those responsible. He seemed like he was a pretty good guy. I don't recall him ever getting into serious trouble. He was a great player, who played the game with a lot of heart and courage. Thanks for the memories Steve. May he rest in peace.
 
I remember hearing about Steve McNair when he was playing at a small non-Div 1 school, breaking all sorts of records. I wondered how he would transition to the NFL, since its rare that great players come from those really small schools(Jerry Rice being another rare gem found at a small school, ironically the best ever at his position).

I wonder if its a murder/suicide on part of the girl, or if the wife came home.

Yeah, bad year to be a celeb, normally the media would still be talking about David Carradine. Add in Natasha Richardson, Fred Travelina and Gale Storm, and it's already going to be a long night at the Oscars for the memorial portion.

Your link doesn't support that claim.

It says they are looking into the family, but nothing about murder suicide.

You are right. Several other sources do. Thanks for making the distinction.
 
Retired NFL QB Steve McNair killed in murder-suicide by 20-year-old woman


Former NFL star quarterback Steve McNair was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in a Nashville condominium Saturday - and authorities hinted he was murdered by a girlfriend who then turned the gun on herself.

Cops discovered McNair's bullet-riddled body slumped on a sofa inside his rented condo's blood-spattered living room, authorities said.

A woman McNair was reportedly dating, identified as Sahel Kazemi, 20, was found dead only a few feet away with a single bullet wound to the head. A gun was lying nearby, Nashville police said.

"At this moment nothing has been ruled out, but as far as actively looking for a suspect tonight, the answer would be no," Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said.

It remained unclear what might have triggered the slaying, Aaron added.

McNair, 36, who was married and had four children, had reportedly been dating Kazemi for a few months. They met at a Dave & Buster's restaurant where Kazemi worked, her former boyfriend told the Tennessean newspaper.

Neighbors of Kazemi told the paper they often spotted McNair visiting her apartment. At times, she returned home in a black limousine, and not long ago, she showed up with a brand new Cadillac Escalade she said was a gift from her boyfriend.

"She is the sweetest girl, and she did not deserve this," Kazemi's ex-beau, Keith Norfleet, told the newspaper upon learning of her death. "He was making her believe they were going to be together, and everything would be perfect."

Also of note:

McNair and Kazemi were inside a 2007 black Cadillac Escalade, registered to both of them, on Thursday when cops pulled over the vehicle and charged her with driving under the influence, Nashville police said.

Kazemi had bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol on her breath but she refused a Breathalyzer test because "she was not drunk, she was high," according to the affidavit.
