Authorities have determined that former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Jaylon Ferguson, who passed away late last month, died as a result of drugs.
Per a Baltimore Sun report citing the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Ferguson died from the combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine. He was 26-years-old.
At the time of his death, Baltimore police quickly pointed out that there were no signs of foul play or trauma.
Bruce Goldfarb, a spokesman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, said that Ferguson’s death has been ruled an accident and that the agency should have an autopsy report nearly completed within 90 days.

No accident China is flooding Mexico with fentanyl and the cartels are transporting it across the open southern border leading to death and destruction of Americans.
And this pathetic Administration is doing absolutely nothing about it pathetic and tragic at same time
Is this a surprise? Aside from a gunshot from one of his “Homeys”,,a pro athlete at 26 years old does not just die except by a toxic, deadly substance introduced to their bodies. Why people take this crap is beyond me.
