Memphis police say Alabama booster Logan Young was attacked and killed in his Chickasaw Gardens home.

Homicide detectives released few details, but said there was a struggle inside the home at 226 Goodwyn before Young died.

The entire home was being considered a crime scene.

They were talking to relatives to try and learn when Young was last seen alive.

Though police said they believe the body was Young?s, they said forensics tests would be needed to make the identification positive.

Young, an avid Alabama fan, was convicted of racketeering, bribery and structuring a financial transaction to evade reporting requirements.

At the trial, Trezevant High coach Lynn Lang testified that he had indeed, given substantial amounts of laundered money to Alabama football recruit Albert Means, who it was revealed never took the college-entrance test. Lang also implicated other schools in the "bidding war" for Means.

The story began when Trezevant assistant coach Milton Kirk went to The Commercial Appeal with his story that Young funneled the money to Lang to get Means to play football for Alabama.
 
Today they are saying that it may not have been murder. The son was questioned in the case.

Booster's death ruled an accident

By Tim Gayle
Montgomery Advertiser


Two days after saying former Alabama athletic booster Logan Young had been the victim of a "vicious attack," Memphis, Tenn., police recanted and termed Young's death an accident in a bizarre twist Thursday afternoon.

In a news conference, Memphis police Lt. Joe Scott described a scene pieced together by police investigators. He said the updated story is that Young was carrying a salad and a drink upstairs when he lost his balance, fell backward and hit his head on a post, knocking himself out.

According to Scott, Young at some point got up and wandered through several rooms in his house, leaving a bloody trail, before ending up in his bedroom. :what: :what:

A housekeeper discovered the body there just before 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Later that day, police spokesman Vince Higgins described the case as a "mystery murder investigation," and said the police were calling on forensics experts to discover more clues.

On Thursday it was not explained why police described a "violent, physical struggle" that left blood in several rooms earlier in the week.

Instead, the police praised investigators and stayed away from the conflicting reports.

Higgins later released a statement that tried to reconcile the differences.

"In an effort to provide the media and the public with information, preliminary observations from the scene were released," the statement said. "The media was told that the scene was 'bloody,' 'there appeared to have been a violent attack inside' and it was a 'mystery murder investigation.' These statements, however true from initial observations, had not yet been confirmed by a complete crime-scene investigation."

Higgins did not return a call from the Montgomery Advertiser seeking further information.

Young's close friend, Phillip Shanks, a Memphis attorney, expressed doubt about the findings.

"I've been in the house several times, and I just don't see how it could have happened the way they say it did," Shanks said. "He visited five rooms downstairs and three rooms upstairs and in doing so failed to notice the telephones downstairs and the telephones upstairs?

"The (medical) experiences he has had in the past 18 months, with a kidney transplant and heart bypass surgery, you're saying he isn't going to know to call 911 and seek medical help? We're all concerned with these findings."

A police news release said that, though the manner of death had been ruled accidental, the investigation will continue pending results from forensic testing and other investigation.

Scott told the Associated Press he did not know if alcohol played a role in the accident.
 
.....there is something wrong about that hold story,I don't believe it.:smh: .The first report said that he was beaten so bad that they could not identify the body.If you were bleeding like that you would dail 911 first and then try to clean yourself.
