No signs of foul play... But he's only 35-
something foul had to have been afoot. Terrible and tragic news.
That's not true. People die randomly of natural causes all the time. Two years ago I had a pulmonary embolism, despite having zero obvious risk factors. My doctors kept telling me how lucky I was that I made it to the hospital in time. A couple months later, Jason Jenkins, the Dolphins head of community relations, experienced the exact same thing at a preseason game, except he didn't make it to the hospital and passed away. All I could think when I heard the news was "
There but for the grace of God go I."
Similarly, soccer writer Grant Wahl died suddenly at the 2022 World Cup and lots of people assumed it had something to with his criticism of the Qatari government, but it turned out he had an aortic aneurysm. His body was a ticking time bomb.
I have no idea what happened with Davis. But it doesn't
have to be anything. Sometimes, it's just your time.
Whatever the cause of death ends up being, it's very sad. Prayers to his family
