Report: Manslaughter Charge In Kramer's Son Death
(CBS) The investigation into the death of former Bears quarterback Erik Kramer's son, Griffen, took a devastating turn, according to a published report.
At least five people were arrested on Thursday in connection with the teenager's death, and a 19-year-old man accused of abandoning an unresponsive Griffen in his own home after an apparent drug overdose.
While Kramer's official autopsy failed to discover a conclusive reason of death, investigators are convinced that a drug overdose was involved in his passing, with heroin a likely narcotic culprit.
The report alleges: The night before Kramer was pronounced dead, detectives told KTLA that Nernberg was partying with Kramer at a park and at some point, Kramer became unconscious and was in need of medical attention.
Authorities say that's when Nernberg put Kramer into his car and started driving around, calling his friends and asked what he should do.
Eventually, Nernberg took Kramer to his house, dragged his body inside and left him there until the following morning where he was found dead.
