CLEVELAND, OH – Terrible news for Browns fans, as it’s being reported today that Deshaun Watson was found in his apartment early Sunday morning following a call from concerned neighbors.
The situation began to unfold just after 6 AM. Emergency officials were dispatched to Mr. Watson’s luxury apartment complex after a neighbor reported hearing a loud thudding from within Watson’s penthouse, followed by a disturbing silence.
“Emergency officials arrived at Mr. Watson’s apartment at around 6:15 AM on Sunday morning,” Detective Roberts told reporters gathered outside the building, his face grim.
“We knocked on the door, and there was no response. We tried calling Mr. Watson, but the phone kept going to voicemail. It was at that moment that we decided, for his safety, to breach the door.”
Roberts described a tense scene as officers forced their way into the residence.
“Inside, the apartment had an odd, stagnant odor to it, so we immediately suspected the worst,” Roberts continued, his voice low.
“The living room was disheveled and covered in magazines. A large television was on, displaying a paused movie, but the apartment was silent. We announced ourselves, but the only response was an echo. A sense of dread grew with every room we cleared.”
The search took officers through the many rooms of his expansive penthouse apartment. Finally, they reached the master bedroom suite.
“We found him in the adjoining bathroom. The smell was immediately obvious when we opened the doors,” the detective recounted. “He was just… sitting on the toilet. He was wearing headphones with an iPad in his lap. It looked like he had been there for a really long time. He was slumped over, motionless. We approached his body slowly… and that’s when we realized our greatest fears had become reality.”
One of the responding officers moved forward cautiously.
“I reached towards his neck to check for a pulse, to confirm our fears,” Roberts stated, pausing for a moment. “And he swatted me away angrily.”
“‘Hey, wtf!’” Watson shouted, his voice echoing in the marble bathroom. The officers froze in shock as he furiously swiped away the incognito browser he had up and threw his iPad.
“‘I told them a masseuse! An Asian one!’” he screamed, glaring at the uniformed officers. “‘Tell Rocko I've told him I’m not into this cop thing."
