PHOENIX -- Condolences poured in for retired NFL player Todd Heap and his family on Saturday, a day after police say the former Pro Bowl tight end accidentally ran over his 3-year-old daughter with a truck, killing her.
Heap was moving the truck at his home in Mesa, a Phoenix suburb, on Friday when he struck the girl, police said. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Messages of support and prayers for Heap and his family were offered by former teammates and current NFL players after learning of the tragedy.
My heart is broken for Todd Heap and his family.
