Vontae Davis, former Miami Dolphins cornerback, was found dead in his home gym on April 1, 2024. The Broward Medical Examiner's Office classified his cause of death as "undetermined" after extensive investigation and discrepancies in the autopsy findings. The autopsy confirmed the presence of amphetamines, methamphetamines, cannabinoids, and evidence of CTE treatment. Family members mentioned his drug and alcohol history. Davis was a first-round NFL draft pick who achieved notable success but controversially retired at halftime during a game in 2018.
"Due to the extensive investigation and totality of the circumstances, including the inconsistencies between the scene and the findings at autopsy, the cause and manner of death in this case is best classified as undetermined."
"He had been treated for CTE, and she thought he had left a therapy program early, using drugs to mitigate symptoms of CTE, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head trauma that can only be discovered post-mortem."
