Former Miami Dolphins’ cornerback Vontae Davis was found dead at a Southwest Ranches home Monday, police said.
Davis’s assistant found him dead Monday morning and called 911 to the home in the 6000 block of Southwest 178th Avenue, Sgt. Kelvin Urbaez, a spokesperson for Davie Police, said in an email Monday afternoon.
Davis was 35.
Investigators do not suspect foul play. The police department has not released additional information.
Davis played for the Dolphins from 2009 to 2012, when he was traded to the Indianapolis Colts. His NFL career ended with the Buffalo Bills in 2018, when he famously quit during halftime of a game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
