Thomas tragically passed away last December.

Demaryius Thomas was a beloved wide receiver for the Denver Broncos. He got to play with some truly incredible players during his time in the NFL, and there is no doubt that his passing hit a lot of people hard. 

Back in December of 2021, Thomas passed away at his home after collapsing in the shower. When paramedics arrived at the scene, they were unable to revive him, and since that time, a cause of death has yet to be revealed. Football deaths have become all too common over the last decade or so, and since Thomas' passing, his brain has been used for science as doctors wanted to see what could have led to his untimely death.



According to Bleacher Report, it has been revealed that Thomas was suffering from Stage 2 CTE. CTE is a disease that has become common among former NFL players. For those who do not know, CTE is a disease that can only be diagnosed after you have already passed away.

This disease has been known to inhibit a person's decision making and it can also lead to depression, drug use, and various other destructive behaviors.
