Vontae Davis' Cause of Death Ruled Undetermined by Medical Examiner

The cause of death for former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis has been ruled 'undetermined' by the Broward County Medical Examiner, following an autopsy report released over a year after his passing on April 1, 2024. Davis, who was found unresponsive in his home gym, exhibited injuries and had substances including amphetamines and cannabinoids in his system, but foul play is not suspected. His death remains a mystery, with family members mentioning a history of drug use and concerns over chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), although a post-mortem diagnosis was not confirmed. Vernon Davis, Vontae's brother, indicated that he had an extensive history of substance use, and Vontae's ex-wife suggested that he may have used drugs to manage CTE symptoms. The autopsy report noted inconsistencies between the scene and findings, leading to the classification of his death as undetermined. Vontae Davis was a first-round draft pick in 2009 and earned two Pro Bowl selections during his career.
