Seeing reports that Jacoby Jones has died at the age of 40. Hopefully not true!
Definitely true. He died in his sleep, 3 days after his 40th birthday.

Too young. 2012 playoffs make him a Ravens legend

Horrible and very sad news.
The Ravens do not win the SB without JJ. One of the fastest men I have ever seen. RIP Jacoby it was a pleasure to watch you.

Did he have any health issues or is this just a freak thing? Awful thing to go at 40.

I was there in NOLA to see him catch a TD and return a kick for a TD in the Super Bowl. Caught the Mile High Miracle TD pass. Wasn't here long but he'll always be a Ravens legend.

A coroner's report said his death was due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease, which is often the result of unchecked high blood pressure.

That's a strange condition for an elite athlete to have.

Could've been hereditary. You'd think it's something to keep an eye on, but how many of us check ours regularly?
To an extent I understand, but they take my blood pressure every time I go to the dentist. I have a machine at home because I know I have a family history of it. He was an elite athlete around doctors and trainers for close to two decades of his life. You would think this was something that they would catch.

It may have been something he developed after he retired from football. My guess is he probably just assumed, being an athlete, that he was in great shape. It's called the "silent killer" for a reason and contributes to a lot of heart attacks and strokes where the person had no idea he or she was a ticking time bomb.

Scary stuff and a real shame it happened.
