If time heals all wounds, than a week's time will also explain the wounds the Bironas and Bradshaw families are experiencing over the death of Rob Bironas.
Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback reported that the family of Rob Bironas is as mystified over the circumstances surrounding his single-car crash on Sept. 19 in Nashville, Tenn., that killed him.
Rob Bironas allegedly threatened separate parties in vehicles before he died from car crash
Bironas, a former nine-year kicker with the Tennessee Titans, was 36.
MMQB reported that two of Bironas' close friends confirmed he had a prescription for Ambien, which doctors give people who suffer from insomnia. Ambien, MMQB added, is a short-acting, hypnotic drug that has side effects that include dysphonia, delusions and hallucinations.
"I think some people think Ambien as a matter of deduction," said Patrick Martin, a friend of Bironas'. "Ambien's got such a history. This buddy of ours toured Europe and they were on a train, took Ambien, and the next morning they didn't remember playing cards or getting arrested ... Obviously, everybody is just trying to make sense of why he acted the way he acted."
A toxicology report on Bironas is expected in a week, MMQB reported.
Bironas was married to country singer Rachel Bradshaw, the daughter of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
What haunts his family are reports that he reportedly threatened two groups of people in separate cars in what was called bouts of road rage just prior to his accident.
According to reports, a group of students reported that Bironas had pursued them in a high-speed chase in their vehicles after Bironas had made threatening comments to them at an intersection.
A couple also had an encounter with a man that fit the description of Bironas driving his white SUV in which took place minutes after his alleged encounter with the students. The woman in the call said Bironas also chased them after he nearly hit their car while they were changing lanes on a street.
"We're doing bad," father Larry Bironas told the Tennessean of his son's death, as reported by USA TODAY Sports. "It's hard. It hurts. We're pretty good at peace, but we have questions. We just want answers. Even if they are bad answers, we just want answers.
"If he were in that state of mind, why? And that's what we want to know. I am not being a father sitting here saying, 'My son wouldn't do that.' Things happen every day you don't expect. Our question is if anything close to that happened (the night of his death), why? What led up to it? What created that? The video an hour-and-a-half before that shows everything's good. He's happy. He's not stumbling; he is not slurring his speech. So what happened?"
