Dave Duerson, a starting safety on the 1985 Chicago Bears team that won the Super Bowl, was found dead in his Miami home, the team said on Friday. He was 50. The cause of death was not released. "Our family asks that you please remember Dave as a good, kind, and caring man," Duerson's ex-wife Alicia Duerson said, according to NBCChicago. "He loved and cherished his family and friends and was extremely proud of his beloved Notre Dame and ... Chicago Bears. Please keep Dave and our family in your prayers." The Bears selected Duerson in the third round of the 1983 draft after an All-America career at Notre Dame. "We are stunned and saddened to hear the tragic news regarding Dave Duerson," the Bears said in a statement. "He was a great contributor to our team and the Chicago community. Today is a difficult day for all of us who loved Dave. We'll miss him. Our prayers are with his family." Source: ESPNChicago
"Our family asks that you please remember Dave as a good, kind, and caring man," his wife said. Sounds like we're going to be hearing some bad news on how he died. Hope not.
