Former Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones died last month because of hypertensive cardiovascular disease, a Louisiana coroner ruled.

A spokesperson for the New Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office said Wednesday that a July 15 autopsy found Jones’ manner of death to be from natural causes.

The All-Pro kick returner, who played in Baltimore from 2012 to 2014, died “peacefully at his home” on July 14, according to a statement from the NFL Players Association on behalf of Jones’ family. Jones, who starred in Super Bowl 47 during his first season with the Ravens, had just turned 40.

Hard to believe, but heart disease kills him at the young age of 40. Very sad here too.
