A medical examiner in Roseville, Michigan determined that a man who died after accidentally shooting himself Tuesday at a car dealership was former NFL player Zurlon Tipton, local TV station WJBK reported.

Police told the news station that a customer drove up to the service bay around 9:30 a.m. local time and went to take a duffel bag out of his trunk. There were two guns in the bag and one of them fired, striking Tipton in the stomach.

Police expected Tipton to survive his wounds since he was talking to people as he was transported to the hospital, but he later died.

Tipton, 26, played football for Central Michigan University and the Indianapolis Colts.
