Short answer: The phrase “how did Cowboys de die” seems to mix two different ideas. If you’re asking about how a Dallas Cowboys football player died, the most recent widely reported case in 2025 involved Marshawn Kneeland, who died by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police pursuit. If you meant “cowboys” in the historical Wild West sense, the deaths of cowboys occurred from gunfights, accidents, diseases, or harsh frontier conditions, with famous examples like Wild Bill Hickok being shot in a saloon. If you can clarify which you mean—modern NFL player Marshawn Kneeland or historical Wild West cowboys—here’s a quick outline for both:
- Modern Dallas Cowboys (Marshawn Kneeland)
- Reported cause: self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police chase and vehicle crash, age 24. Details from Frisco Police Department and multiple outlets confirm the self-harm aspect and context of the incident. If you’d like, I can pull the latest official statements or a timeline of events. [news and police reports]
- Wild West cowboys
- Common causes of death: gunfights, accidental shootings, duels, fights, as well as disease (dysentery, cholera), accidents (falls, mining/lode accidents), and harsh frontier conditions. Notable narratives include figure-specific stories (e.g., Wild Bill Hickok’s death) that are part interpretation, part documented events. If you want, I can provide a curated list of well-documented cases with brief summaries. [historical sources]
