Rashaan Salaam, a former running back who won the Heisman Trophy in 1994 but whose professional career never lived up to his promise, was found dead on Monday in Boulder, Colo. He was 42.
Mr. Salaam’s body was discovered in a parking lot at Eben G. Fine Park, said Shannon Cordingly, a spokeswoman for the Boulder Police Department. The cause was being investigated, she said, adding that there were no signs of foul play.
Rashaan Iman Salaam was born on Oct. 8, 1974, in San Diego. His father, Sulton Salaam, formerly known as Harold Washington, was a onetime Cincinnati Bengals running back who went by Teddy.
