'Jim Brown, legendary running back and civil rights activist, dead at 87'
"Jim Brown, a preternatural talent on the football field and later both a movie star and civil rights activist, has died. He was 87 years old.
His wife, Monique Brown, announced his death on Instagram.
"It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of my husband, Jim Brown," she wrote. "He passed peacefully last night at our LA home. To the world he was an activist, actor, and football star. To our family, he was a loving and wonderful husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts are broken."
"It’s impossible to describe the profound love and gratitude we feel for having the opportunity to be a small piece of Jim’s incredible life and legacy," the Cleveland Browns, the only team he played for in the NFL, said in a statement. "We mourn his passing, but celebrate the indelible light he brought to the world."
