Favre's brother-in-law killed in ATV accident
Associated Press
SUMRALL, Miss. - The brother-in-law of Green Bay Packers quarterback
Brett Favre died Wednesday evening after crashing an all-terrain
vehicle on the player's property.
Casey Tynes, 24, the brother of Favre's wife, Deanna, was riding the
ATV without a helmet when it flipped, Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel
said. Tynes suffered head injuries, was transported to Forrest General
Hospital in Hattiesburg at 6 p.m. and was pronounced dead 20 minutes
later, Deputy Coroner Randy Beck said.
The Favre family did not immediately issue a statement.
"They're pretty shook up," Rigel said.
In Green Bay, Favre skipped practice Wednesday, still feeling the
effects of a concussion. He was injured Sunday when the New York
Giants' William Joseph tackled him and the quarterback's head hit the
ground.
Last December, Irvin Favre, the quarterback's father, died of a heart
attack or stroke while driving near his home in Kiln. His car ran into
a ditch, but authorities said the crash did not kill him.
Brett played the next night in Oakland and had one of his best
performances of his career. He threw for 399 yards and four
touchdowns, leading the Packers to a crucial 41-7 victory over the
Raiders.
Officials said Tynes' body was being taken to University Medical
Center in Jackson for an autopsy.
