Titans wide receiver O.J. Murdock was found suffering from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound early this morning, according to Tampa police. He was in his car parked in front of his high school, where he was an all-county and all-state player in 2005. He was transported to the hospital, where he died about an hour ago.

Murdock, out of Fort Hays State, was signed as an undrafted free agent by Tennessee last summer, and missed the entire 2011 season with an Achilles injury. He had yet to appear at training camp due to "personal reasons," though coach Mike Munchak said yesterday there was a good chance he would report today.

Murdock was 25.

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -

A Tennessee Titans football player killed himself Monday morning outside the high school where he graduated from in Tampa, FL, according to local police.

Officers discovered wide receiver Orenthal James Murdock, 25, about 8:30 a.m. in his car in front of Middleton High School in Tampa with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Murdock was taken to Tampa General Hospital in critical condition but was pronounced dead at 10:43 a.m., Tampa police said.

Murdock was signed by the Titans in July 2011. However, he was on injured reserve after hurting his right foot during training camp, according to the team's website.

Murdock was listed on the team's "did not report list," according to WSMV Sports Director Rudy Kalis.
