The 38-year-old Jackson was found dead at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Monday at the Homewood Suites in Brandon Florida. Police said there were no apparent signs of trauma and the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death.

According to hotel staff, Jackson, who is a South Tampa resident, checked into the hotel on January 11, 2021, and had been staying in a room since that date.

Jackson's family reported him missing on Wednesday and a formal report was filed Thursday but police found Jackson at the Homewood Suites on Friday. The missing persons case was canceled after Jackson's well-being was checked.

Sounds like a likely drug overdose.

I was thinking CTE related.

Whatever the cause...very sad for his family and friends.  Really, it's horrible.

Wow.  That’s so sudden, I’m so sorry for his family.  He was a very good WR at one point.  Hate that he ended up like this, he’s one of the guys you never really heard a bad thing about.  Very interested in seeing what happened.  Just goes to show every day is one you should appreciate and not take for granted.

Family reported and missing while he was checked into a hotel?

Yeah, this story has "bad things" written all over it.

Shame. I remember him as a player. He was good.
