“He had been suffering from seizures for over a year, and we believe he had a seizure when he was showering. He was alone and a friend couldn’t get hold of him, so he called his driver, who has a key because of these seizures, and he went into his home and found him in the shower,” Thomas’ cousin LaTonya Bonseigneur told The Associated Press.

This entire situation is absolutely tragic, and there’s no other way to describe it. Thomas recently retired, was enjoying life after football and then died at the age of 33.
It’s a terrible situation, and I can’t imagine the pain his family and friends must be going through right now.
Peyton Manning (1 of 2): “D.T. was a better person than he was a player, and he was a Hall of Fame player. That tells you how good of a person he was. He treated my kids like they were his own. He was there for every teammate’s charity event. …” https://t.co/ZxXyaatzR6

Peyton Manning (2-of-2): “I texted with D.T. on Tuesday. He was talking about a TD audible we called vs. Arizona in 2014. Absolutely devasted.”

Life can be insanely unfair at times, and I think that description applies to this situation. Thomas should have had a very long life ahead of him.
Instead, it’s all over at the age of 33 after a possible seizure. It’s nothing short of heartbreaking.
