R.I.P.
Eddie Griffin died as the result of a car crash on August 17, 2007.[2] Houston police said in a report that the driver of the SUV ignored a railroad warning and went through a barrier before striking the moving train about 1:30 a.m. Friday. The resulting fire burned the SUV and the side of a railcar carrying plastic granules.[9] Griffin's body was badly burned and there was no initial identification. Dental records later revealed the man was in fact Griffin. Chief investigator for the Harris County Medical Examiner's office in Houston, said the cause of death and toxicology reports are pending. A Houston police officer close to the accident investigation yesterday told the Daily News he was unsure whether the brakes on Griffin's SUV were working. Citing the vehicle's severe damage, they are not able to determine whether that was the case at this point. [10]Former Timberwolves coach Dwane Casey said he had not talked to Griffin in five or six months but he knew that Griffin was spending the summer trying to get back in shape to play in Europe next season.[10] He left behind a 3-year old daughter named Amaree.
