SUMRALL, Miss. — The brother-in-law of Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre died Wednesday evening after crashing an all-terrain vehicle on the player's property.

Casey Tynes, 24, the brother of Favre's wife, Deanna, was riding the ATV without a helmet when it flipped, Lamar County Sheriff Danny Rigel said. Tynes sustained head injuries, was transported to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg at 6 p.m. and was pronounced dead 20 minutes later, Deputy Coroner Randy Beck said.

The Favre family did not immediately issue a statement.

"They're pretty shook up," Rigel said.

In Green Bay, Favre skipped practice Wednesday, still feeling the effects of a concussion. He was injured Sunday when William Joseph of the New York Giants tackled him, and his head hit the ground.

Last December, Irvin Favre, the quarterback's father, died of a heart attack or stroke while driving near his home in Kiln. His car ran into a ditch, but authorities said the crash did not kill him.

Brett played the next night in Oakland and had one of his best performances of his career. He threw for 399 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Packers to a crucial 41-7 victory over the Raiders.

Officials said Tynes' body was being taken to University Medical Center in Jackson for an autopsy.

It really sucks when stuff like this happens. His whole family has to suffer becasue he couldnt put a helmet on. And now it gives ATVs an even worse name then they have already for hurting people when they arent ridin responsibily.

Some people think they will never get hurt so why bother to wear a helmet. They are about as stupid as all the people I see in town on their crotchrockets and Harleys who think they are so DAMN bad on their little streetbike. Yea, I'm so cool on my trike and I don't wanna wear a helmet cause the girlz will make fun of me or whatever their stupid reasoning is.

Too many people have died around here due to not wearing a helmet, some have little kids at home who won't see their daddy or maybe mommy anymore.


So when you drop 5-10 G's on a bike or ATV, you should spend another hundred to protect yourself!
