NFL mourns the death of the ex-professional (35) – his grandmother probably found the body. Police do not believe that the 35-year-old's death was due to external influence, but an autopsy should still be carried out.

Davis had played in the American professional league NFL for ten years and was part of the Pro Bowl twice. In total, he played 121 games in the NFL and had 22 interceptions and one touchdown. A former NFL star recently died after a construction accident; he was only a year older than Davis.
