Son of Phildelphia Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid was found dead at Lehigh University...
At 7:20 a.m. Lehigh University campus police discovered Garrett Reid the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid dead. Officers deemed Reid as "unresponsive" after the University's Chief of Police, Edward Shupp placed the 911 call.
Shupp explained "Upon arrival, it was observed that attempts were made to revive the individual, and they were unsuccessful", Shupp also stated that "The individual was deceased upon arrival and that no suspicious activities were found". Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek, who pronounced Reid deceased at the scene, said he is conducting an investigation at the request of the Lehigh campus police.
It was a sad morning as players and coaching staff gathered in prayer before the team's 8:15 a.m. walkthrough. General Manager Howie Roseman and University Chief of Police Edward Shupp spoke with reporters.
I have some heart breaking news to share with you all," Roseman began. "It is with great sadness that I tell you Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Andy Reid, was found dead in his room this morning in his room here at training camp. It's a tough morning for all of us in the Eagles family".
Garrett had been working alongside the strength and coordinating staff. He was doing good and had seemed to come a long way since the days' of 2007 when he was convicted to a 23 month sentence for smashing into a passenger operated vehicle while he was high on heroin.
The last time that coach Reid had missed a practice was in 2007 when he went to his sons court hearing, was not at this morning's walkthrough.
