Cortez Kennedy, one of three Seahawks to have his number retired and one of four to make it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame after playing his entire career in Seattle, died Tuesday at the age of 48.
Sgt. Wanda Miglio of the Orlando (Fla.) Police Department said Kennedy was found dead of still unknown causes Tuesday morning, stating via e-mail: “We can confirm his passing and at this time there is nothing suspicious to report but we are conducting an investigation regarding his unattended passing.” Miglio said Kennedy was living in Orlando at the time of his death. According to TMZ, Orlando Police fielded a call at 10:20 a.m. of an “unconscious patient” with “no vitals” at Kennedy’s house.
In a statement released Tuesday afternoon the Seahawks called the former defensive tackle standout “a pillar of the Seahawks franchise” and “the heart and soul” of the team “who played with a selfless and relentless approach to the game.” The team later lowered the flag at its training facility in Renton to half-mast.
