LULING, La. (AP) – Authorities say a body recovered late Tuesday from the Mississippi River in Louisiana has been tentatively identified as the brother of Baltimore Ravens’ star safety Ed Reed.
As family members of Brian Reed looked on Wednesday, St. Charles Parish Sheriff Greg Champagne said tattoos on the body match those belonging to Brian Reed. More tests are planned.
Ed Reed, who attended the news conference, said his brother was driving another brother’s car on Jan. 7 and was suffering mental issues that day.
The family reported the car as being driven without authorization. Deputies said when they approached Brian Reed, he ran away and apparently jumped into the river about 30 miles northwest of New Orleans.
