Former Chargers’ lineman Chris Mims found dead in his LA apartment
Former San Diego Chargers defensive lineman Chris Mims, 38 was found deceased in his apartment Wednesday, according to a Los Angeles police report. Police said there didn’t appear to be any evidence of foul play in the death.
Mims recorded 42 sacks in 104 career games over seven seasons with San Diego and one with the Washington Redskins. He was a member of San Diego’s only Super Bowl team in 1995 against the San Francisco 49′ers.
The six-foot-five, 290-pound lineman retired after failing to be signed on with a team in 2000.
He is the second former Charger to die in just over three months. Former safety Terrence Kiel, 27, also passed away in a car accident in July.
