NFL mourns the unexpected death of Vontae Davis at 35
CNN reports that Davis's body was found in his Southwestern Ranches residence in southern Florida. Responding to a call from the ex-footballer's housekeeper, police discovered the 35-year-old deceased.
The specific causes of Davis's death remain unclear, with investigations being carried out by the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office. According to CNN, which cited police sources, initial findings suggest that his death did not involve any third party.
"The NFL is heartbroken to hear about the passing of Vontae Davis. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones," says a brief statement.
In a surprising turn of events during the break of his second game with the team, Davis publicly announced his retirement, citing a decline in his physical condition as the reason. This decision shocked his teammates and NFL authorities alike.
