Family lawyers said marks on the former athlete's wrists and head tell a story of foul play: "There were fresh wounds to his forehead, which appear to have been caused by a shoe."The parents of former NFL player Stanley Wilson Jr., who died in a Los Angeles County mental health facility earlier this year, have filed a wrongful death claim, saying the 40-year-old's death is "suspicious.
Wilson Jr., who played for the Detroit Lions from 2005 to 2007, died on Feb. 1 while in custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. The father described his son as a meek, humble, fun, loving, and charismatic man who attended Stanford University. The family said he suddenly became less social, more withdrawn, anxious and depressed.
John Carpenter, the attorney representing the Wilson family, said that all led to an arrest for trespassing in August 2022.
