Officers said a man was found unconscious in the basement and that a generator was running. The man was later identified as Jones. 

Jones' death is indicative of carbon monoxide poisoning, but an official cause of death is pending an autopsy report. 

He led the Big 8 conference in scoring in each of his freshman, sophomore and junior years. He also led the Big 8 in rushing yards and yards per attempt in his sophomore season with 1,210 yards and 7.2 yards per attempt.

The pair averaged 329 yards per game on the ground en route to leading Nebraska to the Orange Bowl. No other duo averaged more yards per game that season than Jones and Brown.
