Suicide strikes Cleveland Browns on same day as Chiefs' murder-suicide

12/2/2012

The hits keep coming to the NFL: Already reeling from one horrific suicide, a second struck the league later on Saturday. In the space of just 24 hours, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher tragically took his own life and that of his girlfriend, and Cleveland Browns grounds crew member Eric Euker hanged himself at the team facility. The Browns front office issued a statement, calling Euker "a good friend and colleague, and an outstanding employee" and expressing their condolences to his family, but the details and timing of both tragic events have unsettled many in the league.
