Authorities say heat stroke is to blame for the death of former Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber III.

The Collin County medical examiner’s office said the 38-year-old’s death has been ruled an accident.

Police were performing a welfare check when they found Barber dead in his apartment in Frisco, Texas, on June 1.

A fourth-round pick by Dallas in 2005, Barber made the Pro Bowl in 2007. He rushed for 4,780 yards and 53 scores in 99 games with the Cowboys (2005-10) and Chicago Bears (2011).
