Atlanta Journal Constitution reports:
Paul Oliver, a football stand-out at Harrison High School and the University of Georgia who later played in the NFL, died Tuesday evening at a Marietta residence of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police officials said. He was 29.
Cobb County police spokesman Mike Bowman confirmed the weapon was a handgun, but would not elaborate on other specifics of the incident.
Oliver leaves behind a number of immediate family members, including his wife, the former Chelsea Young, and two children.
