Detectives investigating the cocaine-induced death of Cleveland Browns defensive back Don Rogers interviewed friends and family members in Sacramento, seeking to discover who supplied him with the drug.
A police spokesman said the probe had been slowed by officers’ inability to interview Rogers’ mother, Loretha Rogers, 43, who suffered a heart attack after her son’s death. She remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition.
The San Francisco Examiner reported that detectives have been given the name of a man who may have provided Rogers with the cocaine that killed him. The name, said to be that of a longtime friend of Rogers, was supplied in separate telephone calls by two anonymous informants, the newspaper said.
