McNair and His 'Friend' -- Before the Shootings

Posted Jul 5th 2009 1:05PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has obtained photos of Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi on vacation together about three months ago.

Steve McNair -- launch photos

In the photos, McNair and Kazemi can be seen parasailing together on some kind of beach getaway. It's clear the two had some sort of special relationship.

McNair and Kazemi were both found shot to death in Tennesee yesterday -- McNair's body was riddled with bullets, Kazemi suffered just one shot to the head. Authorities say a gun was found very close to her body. Officials won't classify the incident as a murder/suicide just yet ... but so far, the facts seem to point in that direction.

McNair, a former NFL MVP who was married with four children, was 36 years old.

UPDATE -- Detectives for the Nashville PD say they've been told McNair and Kazemi "had been in a dating relationship" for several months. And while it is clear they can rule McNair's death a homicide, detectives have not yet classified Kazemi's death, pending further investigation.

31. Everyone (who knew Steve professionally) has nice things to say about him, and you shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but . . . looks like murder/suicide which wouldn't have happened if he were home with the wife and kids.

32. It's beginning to look like his immature 20 year girlfriend shot McNair. He's found shot multiple times slump over on a sofa in a condo by his long-time best friend who shared the condo with him. The girlfriend, who just 2 days prior was stopped on a DUI in a car titled under McNair and her name, was found inches from his body with a gun nearby. When she got stopped by the police with blood shot eyes, her dumb A told them she wasn't drunk, just high. McNair was in the passenger seat and allowed to go home. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that if the police aren't looking for suspects, they believe it to be a murder / suicide, with the girlfriend doing the shooting. Who know, McNair may have been trying to break the affair off.

38. From all accounts so far, it sounds like this 20-year old was emotionally unstable. WTF was Steve thinking hanging with this teenie bopper. His wife Mechelle is a classy, beautiful woman; the type any man would give their right arm to have by their side. My heart goes out to Mechelle and their 4 sons. What a trauma and life changing incident to say the very least.

39. Of course, with friends like these, who needs enemies! Sounds like she shot him up good before the fatal shot to the head. Personally, one shot in the crotch would have been good enough for me. Remember that girls, you'll probably get away with assault with a deadly weapon, and your man will lose what he cherishs most. Let him live, but take his reason to live.

42. I don't feel bad at all for him, he has probably been killing his wife and kids slowly buy parading the slut around, by
the way they say she is Iranian, anyway he probably didn't know what hit him, nice and quick!

43. Comment #6 is stupid. It was a man ,a woman and a tragic end. It is not about the color of there skin. We are all the same. YOU are making it a color issue. Have some compassion for the families.

44. BlueEyedHeather: Not to worry! Every man will stop chasing your arse by the time you hit 30 b/c blue-eyed fair skinned white gals like you age REALLY FAST.

BTW this woman is CAUCASIAN which is considered "white". What is this "fully white" garbage you racists talk about? You think only blue eyed women who age fast are considered fully white? Think again.

45. THE TRUTH # 28. If you give 98 % of men millions of $, they will cheat on their wives. As time goes by most men become unattracted to their wives and wish they can get with younger and prettier girls. No one should blame them. Women's beauty diminishes as they get older but men's taste for beautiful women doens't change with age.
