Former Eagles LB Mike Labinjo's Death Ruled 'Suspicious' by Police

Mike Labinjo is a former professional football player who spent time in both the CFL and the NFL. The former Michigan State Spartan spent one year with the Philadelphia Eagles and also had stints with the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins.

Labinjo's story received a tragic ending when he was found dead in his home in 2018. The latest news surrounding the linebacker is that his death has been ruled suspicious by law enforcement in Calgary.

The latest news reveals that four individuals were seen leaving Labinjo's building the morning he died and is new information after the case was seemingly closed in September 2018.

“Through testing with the medical examiner’s office and through other information that we’ve received, we’ve now looked at the totality of circumstances surrounding Michael’s death and are investigating this as a suspicious death,” Calgary police staff sergeant Martin Schiavetta told The Globe and Mail. “What we’re trying to determine is if Michael’s death was intentional and if that intentional death was used to facilitate the theft of his personal items.”

A couple of items were also stolen from Labinjo's residence following his death, leaving some to believe his demise might include more than meets the eye.

This is a tragic story, with the only positive being his family may get some justice if his death was not actually from any natural causes.
