MIAMI -- Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa donated $10,000 to the family of a Dolphins super fan who died last week.
Eric Carmona, who helped coin the phrase “TuAnon” and often posted supportive videos of Tagovailoa to social media while wearing a rubber dolphin mask, died in a motorcycle accident Thursday in California. He was 30 years old and is survived by his wife and their four children.
His friends created a GoFundMe page to financially support his family. Within three hours, the campaign raised nearly $13,000. Four days later, the fund eclipsed $60,000, which included the donation from Tagovailoa, a $7,000 donation from Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, and $1,000 donations each from Dolphins linebacker Andrew van Ginkel and team CEO Tom Garfinkel.
