The story of Vincent Jackson just gets sadder with every bit of new information.
TMZ Reported on Thursday that the former NFL WR likely passed away on or before February 13th, which was two days before he was actually discovered by law enforcement.
“The former NFL star was pronounced dead on Feb. 15 after hotel staff contacted police about an unresponsive male in a room at the Homewood Suites in Brandon, FL.
Cops had been investigating and now say hotel staff saw Jackson in the same room — in the same slouched position — as early as Feb. 13 … but assumed he was sleeping.
But, on Feb. 15, a housekeeper began to realize the sad reality — Jackson wasn’t resting, he was dead — and someone at the hotel dialed 911.”
Once cops arrived on the scene, they confirmed he had passed away. The only visible injuries seen on Jackson was a small laceration on his left big toe.
Jackson was not living with his family at the time of his death but had been staying at a Homewood Suites in Brandon, Florida, for more than a month.
He had just turned 38 years old and left behind a wife and four children.
