The Bears also released a statement where they expressed their sympathy and support to their running back, sending out their love and respect to the family as they cope with their dark times.

Before his death, Tyrell was reported to have been involved in a scene that had him running away from police officers and reportedly fled the scene of a car accident near Interstate 540 and Six Forks Road.

Shortly after a missing report was filed, the search was called off after reports emerged that Tyrell had been electrocuted. It is believed that he ran into the substation trying to escape the cops. Authorities do not suspect foul play in Tyrell's death, and no one is a prime suspect.
