Lawrence Phillips’ family doesn’t believe in the notion that the ex-NFL player killed himself. They are no words on the official reason of the death but Tonissa Murdock, the closest living relative of Phillips, says suicide is not an option.
“I know for a fact he wouldn’t do that… I know him well enough to know he wouldn’t commit suicide.He knew that he was innocent about his cellmate… He faced adversity his whole life and during all those times he said suicide was never an option.
She added that she is the one who broke the news to his biological mother and insists that the coroner was not able to give her any information.
“I asked the coroner for information about his body and she was very unhelpful,” Tonissa says … adding that she was told Lawrence was found with a note — but officials wouldn’t reveal what it said.
Lawrence Phillips’ body will be examined on Friday and his family should get more answers on what really happened in his cell.
