NFL Star Vincent Jackson Found Dead in Hotel Room, Cops Investigating

Vincent Jackson — a 3-time Pro Bowl wide receiver — was found dead in a hotel room in Florida on Monday, officials confirm. He was only 38.

The former San Diego Chargers and Tampa Bay Bucs star was discovered by a housekeeper inside his room at the Homewood Suites hotel in Brandon, Florida (located in the Tampa area). Cops have released pics from the scene.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says it’s investigating — as there is no apparent cause of death. No signs of trauma, etc.

Jackson had been staying at the hotel since January 11 — though it’s unclear why he was living there considering he made a fortune during his 12 years as an NFL player.

Officials say Jackson’s family filed a missing persons report regarding the NFL star on February 11. He was located on Feb. 12 and cops spoke with him.

“After assessing Jackson’s well-being, the missing persons case was canceled,” officials say.

He was found dead in his hotel room days later.

Sheriff Chad Chronister issued a statement saying, “My heart aches for the many loved ones Vincent Jackson leaves behind, from his wife and children to the Buccaneers nation that adored him.”

“Mr. Jackson was a devoted man who put his family and community above everything else.”

Jackson worked closely with the Sheriff’s Dept and was even made an honorary deputy.
