TULSA, Okla. — Former NBA star Marvin Webster has been found dead in a bathtub at a Tulsa hotel.
The 56-year-old Webster was discovered in his room Monday morning in the Ambassador Hotel.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham said foul play is not suspected and that the death apparently stemmed from an illness. The medical examiner office said the cause of death had not been determined.
Willingham said the former 7-foot-1 center had been living at the hotel and that employees grew concerned after not seeing him for several days.
Webster played nine seasons in the NBA, including six with the New York Knicks. He also played for Denver, Seattle and Milwaukee.
He averaged 7.1 points and 7.0 rebounds. His first pro season was with Denver of the ABA in 1975.
