The brother of Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen was found dead Sunday after being electrocuted at the Duke Power substation in North Carolina, police said.

Police identified 25-year-old Tyrell Antar Cohen after he was reported missing Saturday night. Wake County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Duke Power substation in Raleigh Sunday morning, after an employee discovered a body inside the perimeter.

Authorities believe that Cohen died of electrocution while attempting to climb part of the equipment. He was supposedly fleeing from law enforcement, WRAL reported.

"He entered the substation, which may have been resulting from the accident," sheriff’s office spokesperson Eric Curry said during a press conference.

Cohen’s brother, Tarik Cohen, who played college football at North Carolina A&T and has been with the Bears for the last four years, appealed to Twitter users early Sunday morning asking if anyone had seen his brother, the News & Observer reported.

By Sunday evening, the tweet had been deleted.

I liked some of the comments:

Watt an unfortunate situation.  I sure hope the family can find a spark of hope after this.  It's hard to get amped about anything when a tragedy like this occurs.  I hope their current situation improves and there's not a lawsuit that ends up in the circuit court.  That would put a jolt on the entire grieving process.

Resistance to apprehension is a bad thing.   One must conduct himself properly around police, stay properly grounded, and never try to impede due process.

The puns are strong with you Obi-Wan.

That took some literary genius to relay such a shocking story.
