Bengals chaplain LaMorris Crawford tested positive for coronavirus: 'I thought I was going to die'

Cincinnati Bengals team chaplain LaMorris Crawford laid helpless on his bathroom floor at 3:45 a.m. on March 20 and thought he was taking his final breaths.

“I thought I was going to die,” Crawford told The Enquirer.

Crawford first started feeling under the weather on March 17. He felt fatigued and had a minor cough. The 40-year-old thought it was from the side effects of frequent travel. But in the early hours of March 20, Crawford’s condition took a turn for the worse.

Crawford woke up out of his sleep, attempted not to disturb his wife, and walked to the bathroom.
