Former NFL QB Colt Brennan dies at 37
A cause of death is not yet known however Brennan's father, Terry Brennan, said his son was found unconscious at a California rehabilitation center where he'd been staying for five months.
He was taken to a hospital in Newport where he was pronounced dead on Monday.
"He was doing so well, the spark was back in his eyes, and he was healthy and doing great, and it happened,"
The grieving father said family were at Brennan's side when he died.
“He went peacefully,” Terry Brennan said. “He listened to Bob Marley. His sisters had a lei around him when he was unconscious. They had the music of Bob Marley playing near his ear.”
(It is curious that he died listening to Bob Marley on the 40th anniversary of his death)
Washington selected Brennan in the sixth round of the 2008 NFL draft and he spent two years there, followed by a year with the Raiders and then some time in the United Football League, Canadian Football League and Arena Football League.
According to a police report, a "heavily intoxicated" Brennan was charged with second-degree trespassing “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly entered or remained unlawfully” at the Kona Seaside hotel - despite several warnings from staff to leave.
He was also twice previously arrested for DUI, most recently in December 2019 where he was also charged with driving without insurance and leaving the scene of an accident involving damage.
His other arrest came in July 2012, he was busted for driving under the influence and drug possession.
Months before his death, in August 2020, Brennan was arrested for causing a disturbance at a hotel in Honolulu
Just last month, Brennan reflected on his past infractions in a lengthy Instagram post and also addressed a sexual misconduct allegation made against him during his time at the University of Colorado.
