ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -A preliminary autopsy shows that former NFL linebacker Kevin Mitchell died of a massive heart attack. Mitchell died in his sleep overnight Sunday at his home in Ashburn at age 36. He retired in 2003 after a 10-year NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers (1994-97), New Orleans Saints (1998-99) and Washington Redskins (2000-03). The results of a more detailed autopsy will be known in the next four to six weeks, according to a statement released Wednesday by the Redskins at the request of Mitchell's family. Services for Mitchell will be held Saturday in Harrisburg, Pa. Mitchell was a graduate of Harrisburg High School. Mitchell was drafted in the second round out of Syracuse in 1994 by the 49ers. |
