Former Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas had Stage 2 of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) when he died at age 33 at his home in Georgia last year, a University of Boston study has revealed.
The Fulton County, Ga. coroner’s office has not given a cause of death yet, but Thomas’ family said last December that they believed the former NFL star died of a seizure.
Thomas began suffering seizures after a serious car accident in 2019. Those seizures combined with the effects of CTE hit Thomas hard.
