Former NFL player Stanley Wilson Jr has tragically died at the age of 40 after collapsing at a mental hospital.
Wilson Jr was drafted by the Detroit Lions in 2005 and played for them for two years. His career was sadly cut short by an Achilles tendon injury during pre-season in 2008, forcing him into an early retirement.
Following the end of his playing career, Wilson ran into personal troubles and was arrested on numerous occasions - and had been in police custody since being arrested in August. He had been in Metropolitan State Hospital in Los Angeles since February 1.
