Police say that his death stemmed from a possible medical issue. May he Rest In Peace. One of the all time great Bronco’s to watch with Peyton Manning. Sad!

Really sad here in Colorado.  One of the Broncos best WRs of all time. Helped Peyton Manning win a SB. Was famous for the catch from Tebow that won a playoff game Vs the Steelers, and also got Peyton Manning's record 55th TD catch. Great human being as well. Going to miss him.

That's what I didn't understand. "Possible medical issue, nothing suspicious" The man was 33 and just finished a 10 year NFL career, what "non suspicious" medical issue could he have that lets him play in the NFL but dies at home at 33?? RIP Manning's favorite target..

This is so sad :(.. and ironic I was teaching my children just on Monday a song I used to sing about him back in 2014. I was working in a shop with Patriots fans and I would taunt them.

 

Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby "We wish you Demaryius, demaryius... demaryius Thomas"

 

I pray for his family

He was amazing to watch, and seemed like a good man and a great teammate. RIP.

My thought exactly when I read the article earlier. The word "possible" makes it sound suspicious. 

 

It is sad when hearing someone so young has died. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family, friends, and fans.

RIP, I heard the news at work last night around 1am. I was shocked and maybe thought it was a mistake. Unfortunately it isn't. Only 33, I am almost old enough to be his dad. This is awful.

I would veer to conspiracy theories so soon.

Are you sure you said that right?

 

But yes - this is sad.  As I get older it is hard to see young people die.

It is sad. RIP DT. Prayers for comfort for his family during this time of enormous grief.  

 

I hope they get a thorough autopsy done, might give his family some answers.

I had a neighbor down the street, Kevin, valedictorian in High School, going to Rose Hulman for Engineering, took medications for seizures, he was found dead on his couch with his laptop on his lap. Took care of his lawn while his parents were arranging for his viewing and funeral. He beat me in a final championship game in our neighborhood fantasy league organized by another neighbor. This one really reminds me of Kevin, he had a bright future ahead of him. So sad when they go young.

So awful. He was a great player, had to overcome a lot of things to survive, let alone get to the NFL. I enjoyed watching him play. It's sad that he died that way.

Since he was found, and not with others around, they use the word possible until confirmed. 

 

I had a friend who died last year, and as it was an officer, his death got reported in paper and they said possible medical emergency. Not until autopsy did it get confirmed, and he was just 22. It is such a terrible thing, but they also dont want to say exactly the case until it is confirm

Sorry to hear. I was going to write that it may have been caused by a brain aneurysm or a seizure, but there are many people with seizures and I did not want to alarm anyone.  Seizure disorders are a lot more common than most realize, but most are well controlled with medication. 

 

Last summer and the summer before, I wrote that I was rooting for Alan Faneca to make the HoF, as he played his whole career with a seizure disorder. 

 

This is very sad to hear. To have a seizure while showering and to die. Hopefully he did not suffer, as he was probably unconscious. Rest in peace.

My condolences to his family and friends AND him .....he was cheated of way, way too many years of life. 

 

Very sad.

Very sad.   Everyone says he was a good kid.   But Marvin was his favorite target
