Death ruled a suicide

Posted on October 20, 2010 by Staff

The death of former track star and UNC assistant coach Antonio Pettigrew was ruled a suicide, according to a report released last week.

On Aug. 9, Chatham County sheriff’s deputies found Pettigrew’s body in the back seat of his car, which was parked on the N.C. 751 bridge at Jordan Lake. He had been reported missing by his wife.

Pettigrew was a 10-time All-America performer and four-time Division II NCAA champion in the 400 meters. He was entering his fourth season on the Carolina staff.
