An attorney for Dwayne Haskins said in a lawsuit that the late Steelers quarterback’s death was part of a conspiracy that targeted the athlete.
“It is believed that Dwayne was targeted and drugged as part of a blackmail and robbery conspiracy,” Rick Ellsley said in a statement released Monday morning. “In fact, his highly-expensive watch was stolen from him shortly before his death.”
On April 9, 2022, Haskins was pronounced dead after he was hit by a dump truck while trying to cross the westbound lanes of Interstate 595 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. An autopsy report obtained by the Miami Herald revealed that Haskins’s blood-alcohol level was 0.20 at the time of his death.
