Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Bobby Futrell committed suicide at his home Sunday after an argument with his wife, authorities said.
Futrell, 29, had an argument with his wife, Patricia, Sunday afternoon, said Jack Espinosa, a spokesman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office."She apparently threatened to leave him," Espinosa said. "He went into the garage, barricaded himself inside and hung himself with an electric cord."
County rescue workers were called to the house at 3:06 p.m. They took Futrell to AMI Town & Country Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
