thecabinboy Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 SUMRALL, Miss. (AP) - The brother-in-law of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre died Wednesday evening after crashing an all-terrain vehicle on the player's property. Casey Tynes, 24, the brother of Favre's wife, Deanna, was riding the ATV without a helmet when it flipped, Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel said. Tynes sustained head injuries, was transported to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg at 6 p.m. and was pronounced dead 20 minutes later, Deputy Coroner Randy Beck said. The Favre family did not immediately issue a statement. "They're pretty shook up," Rigel said. In Green Bay, Favre skipped practice Wednesday, still feeling the effects of a concussion. He was injured Sunday when William Joseph of the New York Giants tackled him, and his head hit the ground. Last December, Irvin Favre, the quarterback's father, died of a heart attack or stroke while driving near his home in Kiln. His car ran into a ditch, but authorities said the crash did not kill him. Brett played the next night in Oakland and had one of his best performances of his career. He threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Packers to a crucial 41-7 victory over the Raiders. Officials said Tynes' body was being taken to University Medical Center in Jackson for an autopsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

. Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 You would think with a football family that helmets would be a second nature type thing. I guess football is more dangerous than riding an atv....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
