Article:Former Oiler dead of gunshot wound

According to KTRK-TV in Houston, John Grimsley, who played with the Oilers from 1984 through 1990, was found dead in his Missouri City home from an apparent gunshot wound. The discovery was made shortly after a 911 call Wednesday morning. At this point, investigators don't think there was any foul play. "This does not appear to be a crime of violence. It appears to be a accident," said MCPD Detective Steve Glave.

"I don't know all of the details at this point, but it is certainly terrible news," said Tennessee Titans owner K.S. 'Bud' Adams, Jr., in a statement. "John was a fine player for us and part of the group that helped rebuild the Oilers into a perennial playoff team in the late 80's and early 90's. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time." The incident remains under investigation.
