The cause of the death of the former NFL corner Votee Davis was ruled undetermined, according to an autopsy report published by the Forensic doctor of Broward County (Florida) on Friday.
Davis was found insensitive by his personal assistant in his local gym in Southwest Ranches, Florida, on April 1, 2024. He was 35 years old.
A dirty game is not suspected, police said at that time.
“Due to all circumstances, including inconsistencies between the scene and the findings in autopsy, cause and the form of death in this case is better classified as indeterminate,” says the autopsy report.
Under the category of “forceful force injuries”, the report indicates a 1.5 -inch red abrasion near Davis’s right eye, a small “subgaleal hemorrhage” near its right occipital bone and “back muscles layers” that revealed “hemorrhage in the deep muscles of the upper back.” The report did not speculate how Davis suffered those injuries.
The toxicology report that was part of the launch of Friday found the presence of several substances, including amphetamines/methamphetamines.
Davis was a first round of the Miami Dolphins in 2009. He was changed to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 and went on to make the Pro Bowl twice (2014, ’15) in his six seasons with the team. Davis also appeared in a game with the Buffalo Bills in 2018.
The younger brother of the former closed wing of the Pro Bowl Vernon Davis, Valee Davis, had 22 professional interceptions in 121 games.
