Jaylon Ferguson, an outside linebacker who was entering his fourth season with the Baltimore Ravens, died after the authorities found him unresponsive in a North Baltimore home late Tuesday, the police said. He was 26.
The Baltimore Police said in a statement that officers were called to the home just before 11:30 p.m. to investigate a “questionable death.” When they arrived, Mr. Ferguson was unresponsive, said Detective Niki Fennoy, a department spokeswoman. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, she said.
There were no signs of trauma or foul play, Detective Fennoy said, but investigators “are not ruling out the possibility of an overdose.
