Vontae Davis' cause of death remains undetermined, a year after the ex-NFL star was found dead with drugs in his system and no signs of foul play

More than a year after former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead at his grandmother’s home in Southwest Ranches, Florida, the cause of his death remains officially “undetermined,” according to a recent autopsy report from the Broward County Medical Examiner. The report cited inconsistencies between the scene and autopsy findings, making it difficult to draw a definitive conclusion.
Davis, 35, was discovered unresponsive on April 1, 2024, in the gym area of the residence. Authorities confirmed that foul play was not suspected. Toxicology tests revealed the presence of multiple substances in his system, including amphetamines, methamphetamines, and cannabinoids. Visible injuries such as cuts, bruises, and burn marks were noted, though these were determined to be postmortem and likely resulted from his collapse.
“Due to the totality of the circumstances, including inconsistencies between the scene and the findings at autopsy, the cause and manner of death in this case is best classified as undetermined,” the autopsy report said, according to ESPN.
Davis had a notable 10-year NFL career, playing for the Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, and Buffalo Bills. He earned Pro Bowl selections in 2014 and 2015 while with the Colts. His career concluded abruptly in 2018 when he retired during halftime of a game with the Bills, citing concerns for his health.
