The parents of former All-Pro NFL running back Doug Martin have filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that excessive force by police and delayed medical care led to his death last year, according to ESPN.
Martin, who was a standout running back during his NFL career, died in 2025. The lawsuit, filed by his parents, claims that the response by law enforcement contributed directly to his death.
No further details about the specific circumstances of Martin's death or the named defendants in the lawsuit were immediately available from the filing. The case is ongoing.
