Kenny McKinley's Apparent Suicide Leaves Broncos Shaken

Filed under: Broncos, AFC WestENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A shaken Broncos coach Josh McDaniels met with his team Tuesday and said the staff and players came together to begin trying to come to grips with the apparent suicide of wide receiver Kenny McKinley.

"Our team is a close-knit group and it was good to have them here today to share in the grieving process," said an emotional McDaniels, his voice cracking at times. "I know it won't be easy. But I think the group has a lot of strength and we'll support each other."

He said the counseling process with the team would continue "as long as it's needed."

McKinley, 23, was found dead in his home near the Broncos' Dove Valley headquarters on Monday. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department said he apparently died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, though a final determination has not been made and the case remains under investigation.
