The family of late wide receiver Vincent Jackson has told detectives they believe he suffered from chronic alcoholism and concussions, the Hillsborough County (Florida) Sheriff's Office said in a statement Wednesday.
Jackson, 38, was found dead in a Florida hotel room Monday and his death is being investigated by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office alongside the sheriff's office.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in its statement that it could take several weeks before it is determined what led to Jackson's death, adding, "... the exact cause and manner of Mr. Jackson's death will not be certain until his autopsy, among other reports, is complete.
