Former Arizona Wildcats Michael Wright Found Dead

Michael Wright, the former Arizona Wildcats star basketball player who made it to the NCAA Tournament finals, was found dead in Brooklyn in an SUV under a pile of trash bags.

Wright, 35, who was drafted by the NY Knicks in 2001, appears to have died from a self inflicted gunshot wound.

Officials say Wright’s body was found in the backseat of a Lexus SUV with a head wound and it appears he may have taken his own life. Family members have told media they do not suspect foul play. h/t tmz

Our thought and prayers go out to Wright’s family and friends at this difficult time.
