Drew Brees’ mother died of suicide

Three months after the death of Mina Brees, the mother of New Orleans Saints quarterback Brew Brees, a coroner concluded this week that the death was a suicide as the woman died of a prescription drug overdose.

Grand County coroner Brenda Bock said Brees died while staying at the home of a friend in Granby near Rocky Mountain National Park. And according to reports, the Texas attorney general’s office subpoenaed her business records three days before the death.

She allegedly sent letters to some restaurants in Austin and Houston stating that they had lost their rights to use their names to a company she represented, Chicksports, but they could win the rights back by paying up to $25,000.

Besides, relationship between Drew Brees and his mother were strained at times since the quarterback refused to hire his mother as his agent six years ago. And Brew Brees used to call the relationship “nonexistent”.
