Ravens’ Ferguson Died From Cocaine, Fentanyl Medical Examiner’s Office Says

Jaylon Ferguson was killed by the combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine, Bruce Goldfarb, spokesman for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, has confirmed according to The Baltimore Sun.

Ferguson, a 26-year-old Ravens linebacker, was found unresponsive in his home in North Baltimore and pronounced dead at the scene. The death has been ruled an accident, the spokesman said.

A written autopsy is not yet available but Goldfarb said that the office aims to have one mostly completed within 90 days.

The 2019 third-round NFL draft pick played his entire career for Baltimore after starring at Louisiana Tech, where he was a two-time all-conference selection and Conference USA defensive player of the year.
