Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hall of Fame defensive end Lee Roy Selmon died this afternoon, two days after suffering a massive stroke. Selmon, 56, was admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital Friday. A steady stream of family and former teammates have been visiting Selmon over the weekend to offer support for the first player indicted into Tampa Bay's Ring of Honor and to his family members. Selmon's teammates are being notified now of his death. "I don't know what to say," said former Bucs quarterback Doug Williams. "Nobody expects something like this to happen, but you don't control it. I'm 56, just like Lee Roy. There's not a whole lot to say." A memorial service is planned in Tampa before Selmon's body is flown to his native Oklahoma for burial services. Source: Tampa Tribune
Just a few days ago......he was appalled by being mistakenly named in the lawsuit against the NFL over concussions. And now.....he's no longer with us.
