A sad day in Donkey Town today.
DenPo: (paywall)
Pro Bowl receiver and Super Bowl champion Demaryius Thomas, who played nine seasons for the Broncos, died Thursday, according to police in Roswell, Ga.
The police said Thomas was found deceased in his home. Preliminary information is that his death stems from a medical issue and investigators have no reason to believe foul play was involved.
Thomas, who played for the Broncos from 2010-18, and whose on-field performance was matched only by his popularity among teammates, coaches and fans, was 33 years old.
Jeff Clayton, the athletic director at West Laurens High School in Dexter, Ga., where Thomas attended, said in an email to The Denver Post: “To say we are heartbroken is an understatement.”
The US Sun:
Thomas was found deceased in his home on the evening of Thursday December 9, 2021, the Roswell (Georgia) Police confirmed in a statement to NFL Media.
In a statement on Twitter, the Broncos said: "We are devastated and completely heartbroken.
"Demaryius' humility, warmth, kindness and infectious smile will always be remembered by those who knew him and loved him."
He would have turned 34 on Christmas Day.
