Found dead in his prison cell; uncertain yet whether it's natural causes or a suicide.
Whatever sort of a turd Damion Soward might have been, he didn't deserve to be murdered in his prison cell assuming that's what actually happened.
Assuming Phillips' death is a suicide, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Well, a shiv under the sternum naturally causes death.
I think ole Lawrence got hit in the head about 100 times more than your average football player.
"Saint" Tom Osborne sold his soul to recruit this guy to win him the first national championship. Phillips was enabled his whole life by guys like Tom Osborne and Dick Vermeil.
...whatever demons....ah fukk it.
Rest in Hell you mutha....
Phillips was a scumbag - and a really bad guy. This is a case of thinning the herd and society is better off. Good riddens
Thought this was a very interesting article: one turns his life around, the other is dead.

Osborne yes - he clearly sold his soul for Phillips.
Vermeil - not so much. He tried to change him. In November of his rookie year Vermeil demoted him to 2nd string for his inconsistent play and inability to stay clean off the field. Phillips ran out of the facility missing the meetings and practice. It wasn't long after that the Rams cut him. Phillips left a ton of money behind by simply not showing up for workouts and things like that. He had a heavily incentive based contract. He earned very little of it. The Rams were not going to simply hand him money without getting something for it. Maybe this is the first time in his life Phillips had to EARN what he got.
