Former Denver Broncos Star WR Demaryius Thomas Found Dead Inside Home

Some extremely sad news to report this Friday. Former NFL star Demaryius Thomas has died at the young age of 33, just days before his 34th birthday, which was about to come up on December 25.

The former Denver Broncos wide receiver was found dead inside his home in Roswell, Georgia. According to the early reports, officials believe the death may have been caused by medical issues and NOT drugs.

His first cousin, LaTonya, believes he died from a seizure…

He had been suffering from seizures for over a year, and we believe he had a seizure when he was showering. We’re not sure when he died. We just spoke with him yesterday.

You have to wonder if the seizures were caused by brain injuries he may have suffered while playing football all those years.

Thomas announced his retirement from the NFL back in June of this year. He uploaded a short video to his fans with a smile and a peace sign…

I’m Demaryius Thomas. I finally came to a decision to hang it up. … I’m going to retire and I’m going to retire a Denver Bronco. I’m done and I did well.

He did well indeed. He became a Super Bowl champion when the Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers in 2016.

When he retired, he told the media that he was happy to be retiring while he was still healthy…

Every year I tried to get better and better, and I knew I was aging, of course. It was something tough, but I’m grateful I did 10, 11 years. I’m so grateful for that and now I can move on. I’m happy, I’m healthy. And now I can try to find my next itch.

He was known around the league as a genuinely good dude. Peyton Manning spoke highly of Thomas following his shocking death…

DT was a better person than he was a player, and he was a Hall of Fame player. That tells you how good of a person he was. He treated my kids like they were his own. He was there for every teammate’s charity event. … Absolutely devastated.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
