Police announced Clayton Beathard, 22, and Paul Trapeni III, 21, were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where they were pronounced dead.
From NFL.com:
The 49ers said they were “shocked and deeply saddened” to hear of Clayton Beathard’s death. The team also released a video in honor of Beathard’s family.
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan began his postgame news conference addressing the death of Beathard’s brother.
“Just want to say how much we appreciate the Beathard family,” Shanahan said. “What happened last night was very tough on C.J. and his family and was a tragedy. Such a great family, we’ve been with C.J. here for three years and he’s as good as any person I’ve been around. Their family is unbelievable.
“I never got a chance to meet Clay but knowing how his parents are, knowing how C.J. is, knowing the stuff they’ve told me about him, he was an unbelievably special person. So, just our hearts and prayers are out with them and I know his dad reached out to us with texts, just how great everyone’s been on social media and just the respect everyone’s giving their family. He can’t appreciate it enough but I think everyone understands how horrible the thing that happened to their family last night [was]. Our prayers are with him.”
The 49ers’ locker room was emotional after Saturday’s 34-31 win over the Rams.
