Bears RB Tarik Cohen’s twin brother found dead

Tyrell Cohen, the twin brother of Bears running back Tarik Cohen, was found dead Sunday in North Carolina.

According to Wake County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Eric Curry, Tyrell Cohen is believed to have died of electrocution while climbing the equipment at a power substation in Raleigh N.C.

Tarik Cohen took to social media on Saturday asking for help finding his brother, whom he said was possibly injured in a single-car accident Saturday morning. The tweet has since been deleted.

The Bears released the following statement:

“We are heartbroken to learn of the death of Tarik Cohen’s twin brother, Tyrell. Our immediate thoughts and prayers go out to Tarik, his mother, Tilwanda, and the rest of their family and loved ones. On behalf of the entire Bears family, we extend our most heartfelt sympathies to all who mourn his loss.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tarik and his family.
