Steve McNair's estate faces a new claim for a payment on the famous Cadillac Escalade ( he co-owned with his alleged killer Sahel Kazemi). His widow Mechelle McNair is adminstrator , and owns 1/3 of the estate currently. Oddly, enough it was revealed he did a public service announcement days before his death on suicide prevention.
According to the Tennessean, the Old Hickory Credit Union asked for $43,000 from the estate for outstanding payments, attorneys fees and towing and storage for the Escalade. The car was in both their names and registered to McNair's restaurant Gridiron9, which had just opened months before his death.
Other businesses he was involved with were corporations. He served as president over a for profit called Air McNair Inc. worth $120,000 and he was a sole stockholder over McNair Farms Inc., a cattle farm business in his hometown Mississippi worth $1.2 million.
There have been other claims filed against his $19.6 million estate( the earnings comes from stocks, business holdings,real estate,and cash) such as: late payments on an apartment he co-signed on with a 26-year-old woman, outstanding credit card bills, and claims from his two oldest children from prior relationships. Remember Steve never had a will.
Steve leaves behind four children and his wife Mechelle McNair . She had two of his children Trenton and Tyler. (His older sons Steve McNair Jr. and Steven O'Brian Koran McNair are from previous relationships.)
One Last Public Announcement
Ironically, it was revealed to me today that Steve McNair recorded his last public service announcement encouraging young people contemplating suicide to "live to see better days" and call the suicide hotline 1-800-273-TALK.
Allegedly, the video was said to be made days before he was killed by his mistress Kazemi whom committed suicide afterwards.
The Tennessean says, " Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities shelved the announcement after Mcnair's July 4 death, and it never aired. The state released three versions to The Associated Press this week in response to a public records request."
In the annoucement, McNair says, "Each year too many young people are taking their own lives. So if you're feeling really down and have even thought about suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK, and live to see better days."
