Rashaan Salaam (http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/738/rashaan-salaam), who won the Heisman Trophy in 1994, has died, a family spokesperson said Tuesday.
He was 42.
Salaam's body was found in a parking lot at Eben G. Fine Park and 911 was called just before 9 p.m. on Monday, according to Boulder Police spokesperson Shannon Cordingly. The park is less than two miles from Folsom Field, where Salaam starred as a running back for the University of Colorado (http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/_/id/38/colorado-buffaloes).
Cordingly said there were no signs of foul play and an autopsy to determine the cause of death will be performed by the Boulder County Coroner's Office. Police told Salaam's mother, Khalada, they suspect suicide after finding a note. She told USA Today Sports, "They said they found a note and would share that with us when we get there."
