NFL quarterback Steve McNair was buried Saturday after what is being called one of the biggest funerals in Mississippi’s recent history. The service was held in the Reed Green Coliseum on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi. Almost 5,000 fans and old friends showed up to pay their last respects to the late athlete. Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young got emotional while speaking briefly about McNair:

“Steve was like a hero to me, and heroes are not supposed to die,” Young said before stopping to rub his eyes as he talked about the man he knew from football camps as a teenager.

The mystery surrounding Steve McNair’s death has been solved. According to an official report from the coroner, his death has been ruled a murder-suicide. The four fatal gunshot wounds the former NFL player sustained (two to the head, two the chest) were from a gun his girlfriend, 20-year-old Sahel Kazemi, purchased just days before McNair’s roommate found them both dead in a Tennessee condo. Kazami shot McNair before turning the gun on herself, police said.

The girlfriend of former NFL star Steve McNair first shot him in his right temple, then fired three more shots at close range, most likely as he slept, police said Wednesday. She then sat on the couch next to his body, and killed herself so that she would fall into his lap, they said.

“The totality of the evidence clearly points to a murder-suicide,” Nashville, Tennessee, Police Chief Ronal Serpas told reporters at an afternoon news conference.
