RALEIGH, N.C. — Authorities say the brother of a Chicago Bears player was found dead at a North Carolina electrical substation. 

Wake County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Eric Curry says Tyrell Antar Cohen is believed to have died by electrocution while trying to climb power equipment. He's the brother of NFL running back and North Carolina A&T alum Tarik Cohen.
