FRISCO, Texas – Former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III has died, according to the Cowboys.

‘We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Marion Barber III. Marion was an old-school, hard-nosed football player who ran with the will to win every down. He had a passion for the game and love for his coaches and teammates.  Our hearts go out to Marion’s family and friends during this difficult time,’ the Cowboys said in a statement.

Few details have been released at this time, but Frisco police said officers were called to a welfare concern at an apartment ‘believed to be leased by Marion Barber.’

Police said they are investigating an ‘unattended death’ at the Frisco apartment.

The 38-year-old played for the Cowboys for six seasons, from 2005 to 2011, before spending a season with the Chicago Bears.

He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2007 after rushing for 975 yards and 10 touchdowns.
