Former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Ahmaad Galloway was found dead in his apartment Monday, according to a report by WVTM 13.

Galloway was 42 years old.

Galloway was a teacher at Compton-Drew Middle School in St. Louis, and the school’s principal, Susan Reid, said a welfare check led to his discovery.

Galloway's cause of death is still being investigated.

"Ahmaad was always on time, very responsible. So, we knew something might be wrong," Reid said. "There wasn’t anything disrupted at Ahmaad’s apartment, so we are thinking that it could have been a medical issue."
