Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 https://www.wfla.com/news/local-news/former-bucs-player-vincent-jackson-found-dead-in-brandon-hotel-room/ Quote Jackson, 38, who is a South Tampa resident, checked in to the hotel room on Jan. 11 and had been staying in a room since then. Jackson’s family reported him missing on Feb. 10. Two days later, deputies with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office located Jackson at the Homewood Suites oat 10240 Palm River Road and spoke with him. After assessing Jackson’s well-being, the missing persons case was canceled. Jackson was then located deceased around 11:30 a.m. Monday in his hotel room by a housekeeper.

Seems like he was going through some things... yeah it does, wonder if they are going to examine his brain. Living in a hotel when you have your place and family says to me its probably mental illness or drug addiction...but I AM JUST SPECULATING 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 A sad end for a player who once had a contract dispute with the Chargers and was smart enough to holdout during the season, yet play just enough games to gain UFA status. He was ahead of his time in that regard and was one of the top receivers in the league for a time. Godspeed to him. I hope this wasn't CTE related. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like either suicide or some type of overdose but I guess they will come out with a report when they are done with toxicology/autopsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
