Family says Demaryius Thomas possibly died of seizure while alone at home

The family of Demaryius Thomas believe the retired Denver Broncos star wide receiver might have died from a seizure while he was alone at home, a cousin told the Associated Press.

Thomas died Thursday at the age of 33, six months after he announced his retirement form the NFL. Police said they found him dead at his home in Roswell, Georgia.

“Preliminary information is that his death stems from a medical issue, and our investigators currently have no reason to believe otherwise,” Officer Tim Lupo, pubic information officer for the Roswell police department, told reporters early Friday.
