Here are more details with regards to this sad news, via the Charlie Innis of the News & Observer.
“Cohen apparently died by electrocution while trying to climb power equipment at an electrical substation, sheriff’s office spokesperson Eric Curry said. On Sunday evening, Raleigh police sent a news release saying they had confirmed the man who died was Cohen, 25, who had been reported missing.”
In a now-deleted Twitter post on Saturday, Tarik Cohen tried to ask for help in finding his missing brother by providing descriptions of Tyrell (h/t Larry Brown Sports).
