A preliminary medical examiner's report said former NFL wide receiver Vincent Jackson might have been dead for up to three days when he was found in a hotel room in Hillsborough County, Fla., according to Tampa's WFLA News.
Jackson was found by a hotel housekeeper on Monday at approximately 11:30 a.m. He was 38 years old.
Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Department says hotel staff had entered Jackson's room on Feb. 13 and Feb. 14 and found Jackson sitting on the couch in a slouched position, assuming he was asleep. Staff grew concerned when they entered the room on Feb.
