This is a very tragic situation, and there’s not much else that really needs to be said. Vincent Jackson died at the age of 38 from too much alcohol consumption.
He should have been focused on decades of relaxation ahead of him after an awesome NFL career. Instead, his life came to a tragic end.

It’s also another terrible reminder that if you need help, please seek it. Not seeking help for whatever issues you might be dealing with could result in an outcome nobody wants to see.
