Former Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos NFL star Alphonso Smith Jr has been found dead at a housing complex in Pahokee, Florida, with initial indications that he died by suicide. In the moments before his death, Smith posted a disturbing message on Facebook apologizing for what he was about to do and asking for forgiveness.
Smith says he “tried everything in my power to fight the demons behind the ones that someone put into ME!”, that he has “disappointed so many folks”, that he has a “DEMON in me”, and describes himself as a “piece of s–t.” Smith ends by saying that “I am the WORST & I pray my soul rest in heaven for my heart is pure, but my BRAIN & experience is MESSED UP!!”, adding “I am SORRY! THIS IS IT!”
