Hasselbach battled cancer for six months<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Former Denver Broncos<\/u><\/a> defensive lineman Harald Hasselbach has died at age 56 after a six-month bout with cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-time Super Bowl<\/u><\/a> champion’s family announced his death Thursday, saying he was “free of pain.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasselbach had been diagnosed with metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma, according to the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He’s had an overwhelming amount of support over the last week, including past teammates, coaches and family that’ve flown in from around the world,” the family said, via ESPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We learned he had the illness less than six months ago, and he fought as hard any human possibly could, with incredible strength.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasselbach never missed a game during his tenure with Denver, playing in 131 games, including the postseason, from 1994 to 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our hearts go out to Harold\u2019s wife, Aundrea, his four children and many loved ones,” the team said in a statement. Hasselbach is also survived by four grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a member of teams that reached the 1998 and 1999 Super Bowls<\/u><\/a>, starting each game in the latter playoff run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasselbach is one of at least 10 players to have won both a Super Bowl and a Canadian Football League<\/u><\/a> Grey Cup. He was drafted into the CFL in 1989 before making his way to the NFL five years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was born in the Netherlands in 1967 and attended high school outside Vancouver before playing college ball for Washington<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
