Death of Drew Brees’ mother ruled a suicide
The death of the mother of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been ruled a suicide.Mina Brees, an attorney from Austin, Texas, died Aug. 7 while visiting Colorado. Grand County coroner Brenda Bock concluded this week that the 59-year-old Brees died of a prescription drug overdose and ruled the death a suicide.Bock said Brees died while staying at the home of a friend in Granby near Rocky Mountain National Park. It took longer than three months for autopsy results to be released, but Bock said that’s typical for cases involving toxicology tests.The Austin American Statesman reported that three days before Brees died, the Texas attorney general’s office subpoenaed her business records.She had allegedly sent letters to some restaurants in Austin and Houston stating that they had lost their rights to use their names to a company she represented, Chicksports, but they could win the rights back by paying up to $25,000. She was also the president of Chicksports but that wasn’t mentioned in the letter.
