HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS, Colo. — A medical examiner says Mina Brees, the mother of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, died Friday in western Colorado, but the cause of death is still under investigation.

Grand County chief deputy coroner Cindy Eller said Monday Mina Brees died there, but Eller declined to identify the town or release any other information.
Grand County is in the mountains about 50 miles northwest of Denver and includes the western part of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Winter Park ski resort.
Drew Brees was practicing with the Saints on Monday in Metairie, La., after missing a scrimmage Saturdy for an undisclosed family matter.
Team officials said Monday they would have no comment.
