Vincent Jackson, a former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver, was found dead on Monday 15th February in a Florida hotel. His body was discovered by a housekeeper in his hotel room at Homewood Suites, Brandon, Florida, where he had been staying since January 11th.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating the cause of death, but says there are no signs of trauma.
Jackson’s family had called the Sheriff’s office on February 10th to report that he was missing. A formal missing persons report was filed on February 11th and resolved on the 12th after officers spoke to him and were sure of his well-being.
Allison Stokes Gorrell, Jackson family spokesperson said they are mounting the loss and asks that the family’s privacy be respected at this time.
