December 10, 20214 yr RIP, no idea who he was. Car wreck? OD? What happened?Really? He was a beast for a while.
December 10, 20214 yr whenever they don't come out and say why a young famous person died i immediately wonder if it's suicide or OD. really hope that's not the case. regardless, this is a shame. had his entire life ahead of him. RIP Demaryius. 🙏🏼 Edited December 10, 20214 yr by shadow_operative
December 10, 20214 yr Him and Manning were an unstoppable duo for a couple years. Seems like his teammates loved him. RIP
December 10, 20214 yr Man…as a lifelong Broncos fan this hurts. I remember when they drafted him over Dez Bryant and I questioned the decision, but he was more than worth it. RIP DT
December 10, 20214 yr Dang. So very sad. Give your loved ones an extra hug and kiss tmro - nothing is guaranteed. Wasn’t he the recipient of Tebow’s playoff game winning 80yd pass in OT?
December 10, 20214 yr Incredibly sad, but at least it was apparently not foul play. I am glad he was able to get a few years back with his mother and grandmother when both had their federal drug sentences commuted. Another reminder how fragile life is.

So sad. apparently he was in a car accident in 2019. same as his last year in the league. so it was the car accident and/or football that contributed to the issues. pretty sad

December 10, 20214 yr Family and friends are saying he has had siezures and recently had one this week. Horribad. He was a beast on the field. Young and not even in his prime yet and for all accounts everyone is saying he was an amazing human being. Terribly sad
December 10, 20214 yr One of my favorite players ever and just a tremendous human. Terrible news. RIP #8, you were loved.
December 10, 20214 yr Wreck em DT❤️🐝 this sucks. RIP to the young man and peace and love to his loved ones.
December 10, 20214 yr Really? He was a beast for a while. My kid would know him then. I pay attention to the cowboys and that’s about it for the nfl.

December 10, 20214 yr Demaryius Thomas was a fantasy football beast. sounds like a great dude, too. RIP

RIP I abhor fantasy football, but I got talked into it one year and just let it ride after the draft. I ended up winning the whole thing without ever even checking on it mostly because of Demaryius Thomas.
December 10, 20214 yr “D.T. was a better person than he was a player, and he was a Hall of Fame player. That tells you how good of a person he was. He treated my kids like they were his own. He was there for every teammate’s charity event. I texted with D.T. on Tuesday. He was talking about a TD audible we called vs. Arizona in 2014. Absolutely devastated,” shared Peyton Manning.

He made the TO that much more dangerous knowing that you couldn’t totally ignore the passing game. I can’t find it but there was a great quote from a college sideline reporter who asked him how he had such poise and maturity. He said wtte, “I shared a locker room with Calvin Johnson, we don’t play that stuff around here.” I’m butchering the quote but I always thought it was a great acknowledgment between two elite players.
December 10, 20214 yr ^ From a cousin. Quote “He had been suffering from seizures for over a year, and we believe he had a seizure when he was showering,” Bonseigneur said, via the AP. “He was alone and a friend couldn’t get hold of him, so he called his driver, who has a key because of these seizures, and he went into his home and found him in the shower.” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nfl-demaryius-thomas-cause-of-death-died-of-seizure-while-alone-at-home-family-says-203947932.html

December 11, 20214 yr 14 hours ago, Jkwellborn said: Last seizure I had was in the shower. Wonder if he hit his head. Seizures are no joke. My wife has them. Anytime she’s in the bath for more than a few minutes I go check on her just to be sure. When we were having our first baby, I had nightmares for weeks that she was going to have a seizure mid-birth and the doctors were going to have to choose which one to save (knowing full well the baby would likely have been crushed if mom went full grand mal). Doesn’t help going into the first kiddo with no sleep.
July 6, 20223 yr just curious but have they ever autopsied a former NFL player’s brain and not found CTE?
