This terrible news comes in the wake of another high-profile suicide.

The NFL is currently attempting to recover from another major tragedy that occurred this past Saturday, as Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs murdered the mother of his child and then took his own life in the parking lot of Arrowhead Stadium.

This Browns employee sadly chose to end his life by hanging himself in the equipment shed.

According to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, the Cleveland Browns organization has released a statement concerning the suicide of Eucker , a member of the groundskeeping crew.
