Vernon Davis breaks his silence on his brother’s death.
The former NFL tight end shared that his late brother, a fellow football player, Vontae Davisappeared to have slipped or collapsed after emerging from the sauna moments before being found dead at age 35 in his Florida home.
“This thing definitely took me by surprise,” Vontae said. Daily Mail of the Dolphins cornerback’s unexpected death in an interview published April 3. “I just don’t know what to think about it.”
But the 40-year-old insisted he did not believe “drugs or anything like that” were involved in Vontae’s death. In fact, his brother took great care of him the last time Vernon visited him at home.
“I was at his house two weeks ago and there was the massage therapist,” he remembers. “He had a stretching therapist, a chiropractor, etc.”
And Vernon isn’t the only one providing insight into Vontae’s well-being. Megan Harp– who married the late NFL star in 2015 – told the Daily Mail that the athlete suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – a common brain injury in football that can be caused by repeated hits to the head – and she suggested that this may have played a role in his physical health before his dead.
