The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed that former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Syracuse wide receiver, Mike Williams, died due to bacterial sepsis resulting from a rare bacterial infection. The infection was caused by poor dental health, decay, and infection. Williams, who retired from the NFL in 2016, was working as a contractor when he sustained head injuries in a construction accident. He was taken to the hospital and admitted to the ICU, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries.
Mike Williams, a fourth-round draft pick in 2010, played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2010 to 2013. He set a franchise record with 11 touchdowns in his rookie season. Williams was later traded to the Buffalo Bills in 2014 and played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016.
The tragic news of Williams’ death has shocked the NFL community, and his former teammates and fans have expressed their condolences. The cause of death has been determined to be natural, with no indication of foul play. The full autopsy and toxicology results are still pending, but it has been reported that Williams had a history of marijuana use, social alcohol use, and daily use of Kratom, a legal herbal supplement that produces both stimulant and opioid effects.
