Tarik Cohen is a broken man this week after he and his family set out to find his missing twin brother.
The twin brother of Chicago Bears running back would eventually be found dead at a North Carolina electrical substation on Sunday. Police say that a Duke Energy employee found Tyrell Antar Cohen’s body at a substation, with Wake County sheriff’s spokesman Eric Curry adding that Cohen is believed to have been electrocuted while climbing power equipment.
According to Curry, Cohen fled the scene of a car accident in Raleigh. Authorities called off their search after failing to find him.
On Monday, Cohen took to Twitter to speak out:
“While we appreciate the condolences thoughts and prayers, we ask that you respect our privacy during this time. Let us grieve. Please and thanks. Long live Me .”
“I lost my brother , my twin, myself . What a great man he was . I’m glad i got to express just how much i love him while he was here. God truly calls home the best and most worthy. I’ll just miss him forever. I got Riah and Trini Tyrell i swear to god .”
