State Investigating Care Home Where Former Steeler Died

MCKEESPORT, Pa. – Sam Davis won four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a guard in the 1970s. He was found dead at a local personal care home hours after he was reported missing. State officials said they’re now investigating the facility. Officials with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services said they’re looking into the New Life Care Personal Home in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. In the last nine years, inspections of the facility found a number of violations including a gas can found in a smoking area, six resident records not containing pictures and urine stored with food in the pantry. The owner told our news partners at Channel 11 he cannot make a statement because the investigation is ongoing. Davis’ family sent a statement saying in part “We do still have a lot of questions and concerns surrounding the passing of our father. But now, we want to focus on our father’s legacy and say goodbye properly.”
