Some more information regarding the death of former Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson came to light on Thursday and there’s now speculation that Jackson may have been dead for “up to three days” prior to hotel staff calling 911 on February 15th.

The new information released by the medical examiner’s office comes on the same day that Jackson’s family confirmed that they are donating his brain to the Boston UNiversity’s CTE Center in an effort to learn more about his death.

According to a timeline iterated by the hotel staff, and following the welfare check the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office carried out on Jackson on February 12, workers entered his room on the 13th and 14th.
