A former college quarterback, Cullen Finnerty, was found dead in Michigan on Tuesday night after the champion QB went missing over Memorial Day weekend. The quarterback's wife and two young children are in mourning, as the cause of his mysterious death is still unknown.

Cullen Finnerty, 30, who was formerly a quarterback champion for Grand Valley State University, disappeared on Sunday when he was fishing in Lake County on a river near his family's cottage.

Since then, no one has heard from Finnerty, and only after an intensive search on Tuesday by police, firefighters, and former teammates, was the body of Finnerty found.

Finnerty's body was discovered not in the river he was fishing in, but in the woods nearby. Police say that they do not suspect any foul play in the player's disappearance, and no visible injuries or wounds have been found yet.

Results from a more detailed autopsy will shed more light on how the quarterback died.

According to Grand Valley State assistant football coach, Jim Schaak, Finnerty was married with his wife and also had two young children. His wife and kids also participated in the search for the quarterback's body.

During Finnerty's last phone call to his family members, Finnerty mentioned that he was "nervous about something," according to Sherriff Robert Hilts.

From this, the family is suspecting that the quarterback may have been having "some kind of mental episode - that he was either afraid or something and ran off into the woods."

Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly was saddened to learn of the quarterback's disappearance and said, "It's very chilling. He led me to a national championship as a true freshman. When I left, coach Martin took over and won two more national championships. My heart goes out to the family and to his beautiful wife."
