Saleh Kazemi

Steve McNair was found dead alongside his secret mistress Saleh Kazemi. Police are now suspecting a possible murder suicide carried out by Kazemi. McNair was shot four times, two of them were in the head. Police believe Kazemi shot herself in the head after she shot McNair.

This is a horrible tragedy that seems so unnecessary, so confusing, and extremely shocking. McNair was only 36, his lover was just 20. He started dating her after meeting her at a Dave & Busters, the two exchanged number and kept a private affair going during his marriage. Kazemi thought McNair was in Divorce procedding, she thought the two of them were bound to get married soon. The truth was that McNair was not involved in a divorce nor was there word from his wife that they were thinking of getting one.

This whole ordeal came as a shock to McNair’s wife Mechelle.

“She’s blindsided by this,” one source said. “She’s crushed. Her whole world is shattered.”

His best friend and roommate were devastated as well.

The quarterback, renowned in Nashville for his extensive work in the community, rented the condo overlooking the Titans stadium with sporting goods dealer Wayne Neeley, who called McNair’s best friend after seeing the bodies sprawled on a couch.

“It’s a picture I’ll never get out of my head,” a weeping Robert Gaddy told the Daily News. “It’s the most terrible sight I’ve ever seen.”

“This was a great man, a man who’d do anything for you,” said Gaddy, who had been friends with the Heisman finalist since meeting him at Alcorn State.

Steve McNair had four sons with his wife Mechelle.

We will all dearly miss Steve McNair, and our thought and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
