We're receiving reports into the WACH FOX News Center about the death of a former Tennessee Titans quarterback.
According to various media sources, including FOX News, Steve McNair has been killed in Nashville, Tennessee.
The incident apparently happened near 2nd South and Lea Avenue. Nashville police are saying it looks like a double homicide.
A female victim was also found dead.
he and an unidentified woman found dead in an apartment. police don’t know when it happened.
unless they are waiting to notify her family first.
I’m watching this live on local tv and they have never mentioned anything about his brother. Can you give us a link???
no hoax. one of his friends sent me a message requesting prayer... he would know.
It might be said that things just came to a head.
Someone first reported that it was a murder suicide, but that article was pulled quickly. Police haven’t publicly ruled anything out yet.

that is the condo complex. he recently opened a restaurant in Nashville. Crowd is gathering, according to the tv news.
I’m stunned. I was looking through anyone who may have had a report on it. Only thing I’ve see so far is the 2nd victim is a woman and that Nashville police are calling it a double homicide.
Sad......very sad!!!
Chris Mortensen of ESPN says McNair’s wife is in Mississippi and has been informed of the news.
So the female victim is not McNair’s wife.
Police say they know who it is but not releasing the name until the next of kin has been informed.
Oh, so sorry. Such a tragedy, happening on a day when families get together for good times and good cheer.
This old world is getting to be such a sad, sorry place. I hardly recognize it any more.
Thank God the children have not been orphaned.
Crazy how these rumors circulate so quickly in this electronic age.
Better than cancer.
He must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Careful, Mortenson has gotten some things wildly wrong before.
I agree. Fourth of July is a family day - he has a wife and four children. So sad.
looks like it was retracted, i can’t find anything except that “his brother confirms that he is dead”
I saw that on CNN’s report. That same report says the girl is his girlfriend and that it is her condo. Local news is saying that some other guy rents the condo and lets Steve stay there.
Anyway, the rumor at the crime scene is that she is his girlfriend and that she is a waitress at Opry Mills in Nashville.
Double murder, McNair and his girlfriend.
McNair’s wife was out of town, so the culprit might be the boyfriend of McNair’s girlfriend. Unless Mrs. McNair knew about her husband’s cheating and had him whacked.
Does anyone know what kind of lifestyle the guy had??? Was he a family type guy or a high roller fast pace type? Perhaps this was domestic, but a lot of times this is some type of unseemly deal gone bad. He was a great player. RIP.
