Police dispatch audio from the 911 call linked to the death of Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland has surfaced online following the devastating development. 

The audio, obtained by TMZ Sports, reveals the 24-year-old had sent texts to his family telling them goodbye.

The woman is said to have relayed that the player said he would “end it all,” raising concern as he had a history of mental illness.
