Baltimore Ravens' Jaylon Ferguson died from combined effects of fentanyl, cocaine, officials say

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Jaylon Ferguson died from the combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine, according to medical examiners on Friday.

A spokesman for the Maryland Department of Heath said Ferguson's death on June 21 was ruled an accident. He was 26.

Ferguson died after police responded to a home in the northern district of the city, where they found him unresponsive and being treated by medics. Baltimore Police said there were no signs of trauma found and no foul play was suspected.

"Our priority is focused on the man Jaylon was and the positive impact he made on so many as a father, son, fiancé, friend and teammate," the Ravens said in a statement issued Friday.
