Doug Martin died after ‘brief struggle’ with police

Details are emerging regarding the shocking death of former Buccaneers running back Doug Martin, with the East Bay Times reporting his passing came while in police custody.

Martin, who passed away on Saturday morning at the age of 36, was in a hospital in Oakland, Calif., after police were responding to a 4:15 a.m. ET home break-in allegedly involving Martin.

After the break-in, police responded near the Oakland Zoo where there was a “brief struggle.”

The former Buccaneers and Raiders star reportedly resisted arrest when police attempted to detain him, became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital, where he later died, according to Oakland’s local Fox affiliate.

Martin’s cause of death is still under investigation by multiple law enforcement agencies.

Martin was selected No. 31 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2012 NFL Draft and ran for 5,356 yards in his seven-year career.
