Former Alabama Crimson Tide, Denver Broncos player’s cause of death revealed
Ever since the tragic news broke back in January that former University of Alabama and Denver Broncos running back Ahmaad Galloway was found dead in his home folks have had one question.
What took the former football star at just 42-years-old?
Well, according to TMZ, Galloway sadly died of an accidental overdose. The site said that the Office of the Medical Examiner in St. Louis said Friday that Galloway “died from a lethal combination of fentanyl, ethanol and xylazine.
Galloway was an eighth-grade teacher at Compton-Drew Middle in St. Louis, and police found him on Jan. 9 after getting a call that he did not show up for work.
Galloway spent four years at Alabama, playing sparingly behind star Shaun Alexander, during his freshman season. But he ran for 659 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore in 2000, and 881 yards and six more scores as a junior. He suffered a knee injury against Southern Mississippi early in his senior season that cost him that year.
Still, Galloway finished with 1,830 yards and 17 touchdowns with the Tide, and showed enough that the Denver Broncos picked him in the seventh round, 235th overall, in the 2003 draft. Galloway sat out that 2003 season while rehabbing his knee, and was then traded to the San Diego Chargers prior to the 2004 campaign. He last played for the Frankfurt Galaxy in 2005.
