Kennedy, the report says, asked a friend to check on him when she got off work the next morning, according to the report — she found him dead.
The report doesn’t say why Kennedy was suffering from swollen legs. However, several of his former coaches and teammates said he had diabetes.
The longtime defensive tackle died unexpectedly May 23.
