Former Dallas Cowboy Marion Barber died of heat stroke, medical examiner saysTMZ Sports reports his body was found in his apartment with the heat on at 91 degrees. Investigators found exercise equipment at the scene, noting Barber had a 'history of exercising during sauna-like conditions.' That makes more sense than the 1st report I read...
