Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson has died at the age of 26, the team said in a statement Wednesday.
Details surrounding the athlete’s death were sparse, other than he died in Baltimore.
Officers with the city’s police department said they found Ferguson unresponsive at a Baltimore residence at around 11:25 PM Tuesday, responding to a report of a ‘questionable death.’
Ferguson was treated by medics at the scene, cops said, but ‘never regained consciousness.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A father of three who had been carving himself a spot in the Baltimore ball club’s roster, the death comes as a shock for NFL fans and members of the league.
Ferguson was reportedly in the best shape of his career, participating in all of the team’s offseason practices for the past three months. Coaches said the star – who saw considerable playing time last season – had also shed a ton of weight.
Cops said they did not suspect foul play in the case, but are investigating the incident as an ‘open questionable death’ until a cause of death is determined.
Police said there were no signs of trauma on the athlete’s body.
In a tribute to the fallen star Wednesday, the Ravens said Ferguson was ‘lost much too soon.’
‘We are profoundly saddened by the tragic passing of Jaylon Ferguson,’ the team wrote.
‘He was a kind, respectful young man with a big smile and infectious personality.
‘We express our heartfelt condolences to Jaylon’s family and friends as we mourn a life lost much too soon.’
Ferguson, who had a standout career at Louisiana Tech University before being drafted by the team in 2019, was also remembered by his agent Safarrah Lawson, in her own statement.
‘It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Baltimore Ravens LB Jaylon Ferguson.’
‘The family asks for your prayers and privacy during this trying time.’
Ferguson is survived by his three kids and wife Doni Smith.
Their firstborn, five-year-old boy Jyce, arrived in November 2017, while second child Jrea, 3, a girl, came in May 2019.
Late last year, Doni wrote she was ‘expecting another sweet baby’ – and has since given birth a third time, to another baby girl.
She shared a picture of the family of five on Twitter during a visit to Disney World in January, captioning the post, ‘World we created.’
A cause of death for Ferguson was not given as of Wednesday morning.
Baltimore Police are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.
