(Reuters) - Former New York Giant Tyler Sash was found dead on Tuesday at age 27, the Iowa state medical office confirmed. Foul play is not suspected, according to the police department in Oskaloosa, Iowa, where Sash was found after emergency services responded to an unresponsive male.
The Iowa state medical examiner's office said an autopsy would be conducted on Wednesday.
Sash, a safety, was a sixth-round pick by the Giants in the 2011 NFL draft and spent two seasons with the team, winning a Super Bowl, before being cut in August 2013. He had previously starred for the University of Iowa with 13 interceptions and a team record 392 interception return yards.
