The cause of death for late NFL star Jacoby Jones, who died in July at the age of 40, has been revealed
Jones — who passed away July 14 at the age of 40 — died from hypertensive cardiovascular disease, according to TMZ Sports. According to the Cleveland Clinic, hypertensive cardiovascular disease can happen “if you have unmanaged high blood pressure for a long time. The added strain on your heart could lead to heart failure or other health problems.”A third-round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2007, Jones played five seasons with the Texans before signing with the Baltimore Ravens.
In September 2017, Jones signed a one-day contract with the Ravens so he could retire as a member of the team. “I loved Jacoby Jones,” his former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. “We all did. His spirit, enthusiasm and love for people were powerful. He was a light. He was the cherished son of his loving mom, Ms. Emily. They were so close. He was a man of faith.
