Former National Football League wide receiver Vincent Jackson, who last played in the league in 2016, was found dead in a hotel room in Brandon, Florida, on Monday. He was 38.

There were no signs of trauma and the medical examiner is investigating the cause of death. The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said they’d done a wellness check on Jackson at the hotel Friday, tracking him down there after his family reported him missing two days earlier.

Jackson played for the San Diego Chargers for seven seasons and then five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
