Ex NBA Player Eddie Griffin Dead

Former Houston Rockets forward Eddie Griffin was been killed in crash with a train last week 11 News confirmed Tuesday. Griffin, who spent two troubled seasons with the Rockets, crashed through a railroad crossing arm and collided with a train.

Former Rockets forward Eddie Griffin was killed when his SUV collided with a train last week.

The Harris County Medical Examiner was unable to confirm his identity until they used dental records to positively identify him Tuesday.

According to Houston police, Griffin was driving a Nissan SUV in the 5300 block of Lawndale when he crashed through a railroad-crossing arm and was stuck by a train.

Griffin was pronounced dead on the scene, but his body was burned beyond recognition and there were no signs of identification in the car.

Was a fan of him when he came to the Timberwolves and seemed to be turning his life around. Guy never could stay out of trouble though.

Yea, terrible news.

It's a shame he could never get his things together. He had such potential coming out of Seton Hall.

Actually the audio was caught of him talking to the guy that he hit. He told him how drunk he was and that he was "masterbating" himself. He went on to tell the guy he did not have a license and that if the guy did not call the cops he would buy him a new car.
