DALLAS — Marion Barber, a punishing staple in the Dallas Cowboys backfield for six seasons, was found dead Wednesday at his Frisco home.
Frisco police said officers were asked to perform a welfare check at an apartment believed to be leased by Barber and that there was an “unattended death” at the location.
The Cowboys confirmed the death of Barber — who was nine days shy of his 39th birthday — in a statement on Twitter.
