How Did 35-Year-Old Vontae Davis Die? Police Reports Reason Behind Former Colts & Dolphins CB’s Tragic Death

One of the veteran cornerbacks of the league, Vontae Davis has mysteriously passed away. This has left the football world mourning and confused because the reason behind his tragic death remains unknown and the police have yet to confirm the autopsy results. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins back in 2009 and played 10 seasons in the league before retiring unexpectedly.

Police in Fort Lauderdale said that they responded to a medical emergency only to find the man deceased at his Southwest Ranches, Florida property. Eventually, it was confirmed that the man was the former professional Vontae Davis who lived with his mother Adaline Davis there. Since the news broke out, the police have been doing their due diligence and reportedly questioning the 2x Pro Bowler’s mother.

Initially, the police did not confirm the death, but it was the CB’s close ones who broke the news first. Explaining the death, Davie police in a statement as reported by ESPN said, “This morning, Davie Police Officers responded to 6051 SW 178th Avenue in reference to a medical call. Officers were called to the residence by the house assistant, who found the homeowner deceased. We can confirm that the deceased individual is Vontae Davis age 35. Preliminary information suggests that foul play is not involved.”

Additionally, it was reported that it could take up to 90 days for the exact cause behind the demise to come up, due to a full examination and further testing from the Broward County Office of Medical Examiner and Trauma Services. The veteran CB has had a remarkable impact on the NFL community. He played 3 seasons with the Miami Dolphins before getting traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. Eventually, he took off to the Buffalo Bills in 2018. Alas! In the Bills camp, Davis chose to mysteriously retire at the halftime of the second game of the season.

Over the years, he amassed multiple injuries and went through a couple of surgeries and probably these experiences made him hang his jersey out of nowhere. At the time of his retirement he said, “Reality hit me fast and hard: I shouldn’t be out there anymore.” Davis finished his decade long NFL career as a 2x Pro Bowler with 344 solo tackles, 51 assisted tackles, 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery and 22 interceptions.

Now, as the NFL realm bids goodbye to the legendary cornerback, teams including Miami Dolphins and Bills have come forth to pay tribute to the professional. His legacy, dedication and memories will be cherished forever by his loved ones and the NFL devotees.
