PLANO, Texas (Ticker) -- David Jacobs, a convicted steroids
dealer who told NFL officials that he sold performance-enhancing
drugs to several players, was found shot dead in his home
Thursday morning.
The bodies of Jacobs, 35, and Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell, 30, were
discovered early Thursday morning during a welfare check from
Plano police.
Police spokesman Rick McDonald did not state whether the case
was being treated as a double homicide or murder-suicide.
Authorities also have not stated whether a weapon was found on
the scene.
Jacobs met with NFL security officials two weeks ago and
provided names of players to which he allegedly sold steroids.
Hank Hockeimer, Jacobs' attorney, told the Dallas Morning News
that Jacobs told the league about his knowledge of steroid and
human growth hormone use by current and former NFL players.
"They were thorough in their questioning," Hockeimer told the
newspaper. "David provided them with documents corroborating
what he was telling them."
Hockeimer did not disclose the names of the players that were
discussed.
