July 4 (Bloomberg) -- Steve McNair, a former National Football League quarterback who won a most-valuable player award, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in a condominium complex in Nashville, Tennessee, TV station NewsChannel5 reported, citing police.
Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams confirmed the death in a statement on the team’s Web site.
A woman was also found dead at the scene, the Nashville- based television station reported.
McNair, 36, retired in April 2008 after 13 seasons in the league with the Houston Oilers, which later became the Titans, and Baltimore Ravens. He shared the 2003 most valuable player award with the Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning.
McNair led the Titans to the Super Bowl after the 1999 season, where the team lost to the St. Louis Rams 23-16. Receiver Kevin Dyson caught McNair’s final pass with no time remaining and was tackled with the ball inside the 1-yard line.
