Posted: December 22, 2023 1:52 PM ESTOfficials in Hillsborough County, Fla., have announced the cause of death for former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams, who died in September.
Williams, 36, was working at a construction site when the accident occurred on Aug. 21 and was found to be carrying a “heavy load on his head,” according to a preliminary report.
The cause of death stated in the report was “bacterial sepsis with brain abscess and necrotizing lobar pneumonia due to extensive caries and retention of dental roots.”
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is also considered a contributing factor.
Hillsborough County officials said the coroner’s office has not recorded such a cause of death.
The next day, a 911 call was made from her home, referred to only as a “medical call,” to the Hillsborough County Fire Department.
Williams was then taken to the hospital where a CT scan of his head was performed.
The report says the scan revealed a “multifocal intracranial mass with worsening 8mm left-to-right midline shift” and “acute toxic anoxic encephalopathy”.
He was later diagnosed with “acute hypoxic respiratory failure, cardiac arrest and sepsis due to multiple brain abscesses” and admitted to the intensive care unit.
On September 1, Williams suffered a heart attack. He received CPR prior to intubation and sedation.
