Former NFL player Keion Carpenter, died on Thursday after he suffered from an injury while on vacation with his family in Florida.
The 39-year-old was most known for playing on both the Buffalo Bills, and the Atlanta Falcons.
According to the Baltimore Sun, he collapsed and remained in a coma for 24 hours before being pronounced dead at the Jackson South Community Hospital.
According to his cousin he had an accident while playing with his son. She said, “They were running to the car when (Carpenter) slipped, fell, hit his head and slipped into a coma. It was just a freak accident.”
News about him being hospitalized started to spread late on Wednesday.
His family later released a statement which read, “It is with regret that we as a family announce that at 6:47 am Keion Eric Carpenter was pronounced dead, at Jackson South Community Hospital in Miami, Florida. Keion collapsed while on a family vacation and remained in a coma for 24 hours. Keion(‘s) remains will be flown back to Baltimore for burial.”
He also did amazing work through his Carpenter House charity in Maryland, which is used to help families from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Keion Carpenter leaves behind his wife Tonia Carpenter, and four children.

ReplyDeleteAh ah...not again pls, not again.
ReplyDeleteRIP.
This is so sad. Rip
ReplyDeleteSo sad! After all the years on the field, just a simple slip led to his death. His son will need a lot of therapy. Rest in peace Mr. Carpenter!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about that. His son will need lots of therapy to be able to understand he didn't lead his father (their running together) to his death.
DeleteHe does need therapy. Its so sad, people with scandals won't die but a family man who loves and takes proper care of his wife and children and also involved in charity.
DeleteGod does as it pleases Him, we can't question Him.
May Keions soul rest in perfect peace and may the Almighty God watch over those his left behind.
Jesus Christ

ReplyDeleteLittle things we overlook, how many times have I had an accident as little as this?? I remember growing up getting hit by a motorcyclist twice,i wasnt even up to 10 ,I almost lost an arm but God saved mi, or is it d sicknesses that almost took my life, I got sick regularly people thought I was SS, all these things I took for granted while odas are dying for something less, great is thine faithfulness
ReplyDeleteSo sad. I pray that God helps those he left behind to get over it.
ReplyDeleteThey must be very traumatised.
We all won't get out of here alive. We all have our death day . When it comes nothing stops it .rip
