Authorities in Memphis are investigating the sudden death of Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke, 29, as a possible drug overdose, according to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ and basketball news outlets. Clarke’s body was discovered on Monday at a property he was occupying earlier in the week, which public records show was not his primary residence. Investigators reportedly found drug paraphernalia at the scene, but no arrests have been made and officials have not detailed the items recovered. The medical examiner is awaiting toxicology results to determine the official cause of death, and the Grizzlies have requested privacy for Clarke’s family.
