RIP Vontae Davis

Via NBC News, where you can read the full story:

Former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead in a Florida mansion, police said Monday.

He was 35.

Officers were called Monday morning to a residence on the 6000 block of SW 178th Avenue by the house assistant, who discovered Davis’ body at the Southwest Ranches’ home, the Davie Police Department said in a statement.

“Preliminary information suggests that foul play is not involved,” the department said.

Details about how Davis died were not released.

Broward County property records indicate the nearly $3 million home is owned by Adaline Davis, identified by NBC South Florida as Davis’ grandmother. Other records indicate Vontae Davis lived at the home.

The Broward County medical examiner’s office said Monday afternoon that it is investigating Davis’ death.

“There is no further information available pending a full examination, further testing, and studies. It can take up to 90 days to complete the investigation and determine the cause and manner of death,” the agency said in a statement.

RIP Phil Da Phuture

This one might be the hardest loss for JUKEBOXDC to date… and all over a stupid, senseless act. RIP to a true great — a great artist and a great friend.
