SACRAMENTO -- Imprisoned former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips had a "Do Not Resuscitate" note taped to his chest when he was found hanging in his cell, according to a California coroner's report released Wednesday.
Deputy Kern County Coroner Christopher Frank says in the report that he found another note and a picture of Phillips and an unnamed child tucked into Phillips' left sock. The "Do Not Resuscitate" note had been written on a small piece of paper that had been torn in half.
Phillips, 40, was found in his Kern Valley State Prison cell Jan. 13 with a torn bed sheet tied to a television shelf and tied tightly around his neck, the report says.
