LAKE HIGHLANDS: Former football star, wife found dead in their home.
A former star Texas A&M University football player and a woman believed to be his wife were found dead in their Lake Highlands home about 11 p.m. Friday, police said. Investigators had not determined Saturday how Lance Teichelman, 34, and Jennifer Teichelman, 29, died in their home in the 8700 block of Halstead Court. A police officer found the couple, and there were no obvious signs of trauma, authorities said. The Dallas County medical examiner's office said toxicology tests were planned. Mr. Teichelman, a defensive lineman in the early 1990s at Texas A&M, was a seventh-round draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 1994. He had stints with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. The Cotton Bowl committee named him to its all-decade team for the 1990s.
