00:00Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Nealon's death has been ruled a suicide.

00:04The result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police chase that ended in Frisco, Texas.

00:10Police say the incident happened late Wednesday night.

00:13Troopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety were pursuing a vehicle that entered the city of Frisco.

00:18After losing sight of the vehicle, troopers found it crashed along southbound Dallas Parkway.

00:24The driver, identified as 24-year-old Marshawn Nealon, fled on foot.

00:28Officers set up a perimeter with canine and drone units and later learned he'd expressed suicidal thoughts.

00:34Just after 1.30 a.m., Nealon was found dead from what police describe as a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

00:40Here's the police dispatch audio from that night.

00:44We were talking to the girlfriend. She's trying to call his agent, so we're trying to get her to call him first.

00:49But she's saying he is armed and has a history of mental illness, and her quote was, he will end it all.

00:58Good copy. He probably ran back to the car to get the gun.

01:0310-4.

01:05If she calls him, we'll let you know.

01:09Good copy.

01:10All right, y'all do me a favor. Everybody stay with the buddy. Don't go looking alone. This guy is armed.

01:17The president, they just received a text from him, a group text from him saying goodbye.

01:24They're concerned for his welfare.

01:26They do not have a key to the apartment.

01:28David said they have a copy.

01:33I advise on this call.

01:34We were just out there. There's nobody at the apartment.

01:37All the contact from my phone.

01:39We have a lieutenant calling in from Plano advising that the NFL is calling Plano, PD,

01:44and the subject is texting his family goodbye.

01:47DPS 111.

01:49There's a porta-potty on the south side of that building.

01:564D, we got eyes on it.

02:02That's pretty much right exactly where 118 drew the circle.

02:06Do y'all see a heat from that?

02:09Yeah, 111.

02:10We got good eyes on it.

02:11Looks like the door's open.

02:14Red liquid coming out from it.

02:16We just want to go ahead and work this safely before we have any officers approach.

02:21So let's just get in a red team and kind of go through this safely and tactically.

02:26I believe we got eyes on a drone right there.

02:31Y'all got eyes on the target inside that porta-potty.

02:35We're pushing the drone there now.

02:40Got a good copy.

02:40Just on our last orbit.

02:42We didn't see any movement.

02:43Still got that heat signature.

02:45Looks like it's curled up at the bottom of that porta-potty.

02:46With the stream of blood coming from the porta-potty.

02:55Yeah, that's a 10-4.

02:57He's going to be laying on his side, facing inward, and quite a bit of blood coming out.

03:03Possible signal 27.
