Linebacker Jamacia Jackson, who spent last season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was found dead yesterday in South Carolina. He was 26.
“Jamacia was a beloved player, teammate and friend,” said Ticats’ head coach Charlie Taaffe in a statement. “He will be truly missed by our entire team.
“Our sincere condolences are with Jamacia’s family and friends.”
Jackson was found unresponsive at his girlfriend’s home in Sumter, S.C., and pronounced dead at a hospital. A cause of death wasn’t immediately known.
Jackson’s stepmother, Cleo Jackson, said the 6-foot-1, 210-pound player was in good health and had lifted weights Saturday.
