Before he ended his career in 2017, Nix stood in the position of nose tackle for four NFL teams throughout his entire professional career – and was there with body and soul. “Football was his great love,” said his mother, Stephanie Wingfield local media.
How Kiro7 Now reported, the 29-year-old was reported missing Tuesday last week. His mother had texted him, but got no reply.
“I pray that he is fine, but that is really atypical for him,” said Wingfield just a few days ago and continued: “I really don’t wish that to anyone. I’m not saying that something happened to my son – me pray that it is not so – but this uncertainty. “
Now the sad certainty for the family: The athlete’s body was found on Saturday. This was confirmed by both his mother and her Police.

Although the circumstances of his death have not yet been clarified, the police published that Nix’s car had been recovered from a lake in Jacksonville, Florida.
Particularly tragic: only last December, the ex-football player looked death in the eye when he was involved in an armed robbery at a gas station. He was shot in the chest and had to spend the next two weeks in the hospital.
“I know it sounds like a cliché, but I’m just happy to be alive,” he said in one of his last interviews.
