According to a DPS statement, troopers attempted to pull over a vehicle for a traffic violation on the northbound lanes of the Dallas North Tollway near Keller Springs Boulevard. The driver, later identified as Kneeland, refused to stop, sparking a chase that ended when officers lost sight of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car was later found abandoned and crashed nearby. Shortly afterward, Kneeland was discovered dead inside a portable toilet close to the scene, according to police audio obtained by TMZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshawn Kneeland\u2019s agent, Jonathan Perzley, said he was \u201cshattered\u201d to confirm that his client and close friend died Wednesday night. The 24-year-old Dallas Cowboys defensive end passed away just two days after a standout performance on&nbsp;<em>Monday Night Football<\/em>&nbsp;against the Arizona Cardinals. During the game, Kneeland recovered a blocked punt in the second quarter and scored a touchdown, giving the Cowboys their first points. Former defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who retired earlier this year, remembered Kneeland as a \u201ctough\u201d player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has died at the age of 24, his agent and the team confirmed Thursday morning. \u201cIt is with extreme sadness that&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":201,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18944","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18944"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18944\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18945,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18944\/revisions\/18945"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18944"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18944"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yxnews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18944"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
