Lawrence Phillips hung himself, had 'Do Not Resuscitate' note (Shutdown Corner)

A coroner has determined that former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips hung himself in prison, and had a "Do Not Resuscitate" note taped to his chest according to the Omaha World-Herald.

Phillips was found dead in his cell on Jan. 13, with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck. The bedsheet was secured to a TV shelf, the World-Herald said, citing the coroner's report. A guard, who checked Phillips' cell at 11:35 p.m. on Jan. 12 and saw nothing wrong, came around again after midnight and saw a towel over the window of Phillips' cell in the segregation unit.
