The Discovery Channel believes that the circumstances surrounding the accidental death of Memphian and Alabama booster Logan Young are intriguing enough to take a second look.
Cordova attorney Philip Shanks confirmed that a production crew filmed an interview with him a month ago for a new Discovery Channel series whose name and airdate have yet to be announced.
The show investigates cases that were closed but maybe had a lot of mysterious circumstances.
Young was found dead in his home on April 11, 2006, nude next to his bed. Police initially called it a homicide, then 36 hours later concluded Young accidentally fell down his stairs, was knocked unconscious, walked to his kitchen to wash off the blood, walked back upstairs to take a shower and went to his bed, where he was still bleeding profusely. Police said Young fell out of bed reaching for the phone.
"Police have evidence that I wasn't privy to," Shanks said. "But there were a couple of things that didn't sound right to me. Logan never walked around nude. When we would take trips together and roomed in hotels, he would get in bed fully clothed. Also, police said they found no money in Logan's house. Logan kept wads and wads of cash in his house. He never kept less than $50,000, and really it was closer to $100,000."
The show is expected to air in September or October."
