Police: Former Lions QB Killed in Crash in Greece
WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania authorities say a former Detroit Lions quarterback who failed to show for sentencing on drunken driving charges nearly four years ago has been killed in a car crash in Greece.
Chester County detectives say the State Department used fingerprints to confirm the crash victim was 52-year-old William "Jeff" Komlo.
Acting chief county detective Jim Vito says authorities initially had been skeptical about reports of Komlo's death in a weekend crash.
In July 2005, Komlo failed to show for sentencing on two drunken driving convictions. He also had failed to show for an unrelated hearing two months earlier.
When he went missing, Komlo also was under investigation for fires at his home in Chester Springs, Pa., and another home in Florida.
Komlo also played for Atlanta and Tampa Bay between 1979 and 1983.
