The man's body was found Saturday morning at the facility in suburban Cleveland, the same day Kansas City Chiefs (http://espn.go.com/nfl/team/_/name/kc/kansas-city-chiefs) linebacker Jovan Belcher (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13100/jovan-belcher) committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager after earlier killing his girlfriend.
Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis released a statement calling the man a good friend and an outstanding employee and saying the team's heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
"This is a terrible tragedy," the statement said. "He will be missed by everyone in the Cleveland Browns organization."
The Browns play in Oakland against the Raiders on Sunday.
A spokesman for the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner said they were called to the practice facility to investigate a suicide Saturday morning, but would not release any further details.
