Gaines Adams Bears defensive end dead at 26
Gaines Adams of the Chicago Bears died Sunday morning after being taken to an emergency room in Greenwood, S.C.
Sadly, this NFL defensive end was pronounced dead around 9 a.m. Sunday morning. The Anderson County forensic pathologist will perform an autopsy today and hopefully we will know more about this untimely and tragic event.
Adams was only 26, but had already played 3 seasons with the Bucs and the Bears after being drafted by Tampa Bay with the no. 4 pick in 2007. The 6-foot-5, 256 pound Defensive End played 47 games and had 67 tackles and 13.5 sacks.
Our condolences go out to his family and his fans and we will keep you posted on any further updates on this story.
