More details have begun to emerge regarding the shocking sudden death of 35-year-old former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis.
As Slay News reported, Davis was found dead earlier this week after he died unexpectedly.
Davis was discovered at his home in Southwest Ranches, Florida where he died suddenly on Monday.
Police said that no foul play is suspected.
However, police have confirmed an investigation is underway.
Police have now released the 911 call transcript.
The call reveals that Davis was found unresponsive by a woman at his home.
The woman who found him called Davis’s personal assistant in a state of shock.
Davis was found lying on the ground in a home gym, his personal assistant told dispatchers.
The personal assistant said the woman had called her on FaceTime moments earlier and showed Davis’s body lying on the ground.
“She arrived and he’s on the ground of the residence. She froze,” the assistant said.
“She called me and she didn’t even speak. That’s why I called.”
The assistant said she had last seen Davis days earlier.
“Then I know that someone saw him Saturday, one of the drivers,” she added.
The woman who found Davis told dispatchers that she went looking for him when she couldn’t find him at the house.
That’s when she made the chilling discovery in the home gym.
“I got to the house, and I was just doing usual stuff,” she said.
“Then, I couldn’t find the person, so I was walking around the house.”
The cause of death remains as yet unclear.
Davis played multiple seasons with the Miami Dolphins and the Indianapolis Colts before finishing his career with the Buffalo Bills.

The two-time Pro Bowler is famous for retiring abruptly in the middle of a game in 2018 while playing for the Bills.
At the time, Davis said he wanted to spare his body further damage after sustaining multiple injuries.
“Reality hit me fast and hard: I shouldn’t be out there anymore,” he said.
His older brother Vernon Davis, also a retired NFL player, shared his shock and heartbreak with the Daily Mail.
He told the tabloid that he believes his brother may have slipped and fallen after spending time in the sauna.
“I’m leaning on the detectives to figure it out but right now we have no answers,” Davis said.
“They are going to run tests and they said they’ll get back to us.”
“It could be as long as a month, a month and a half, until we know anything,” he added.
Following news of his death on Monday, Davis’s former teams mourned the loss of the two-time Pro Bowler.
“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Vontae Davis,” the Bills shared in a statement.
“We are thinking of his friends, family, and loved ones during this difficult time.”
The Dolphins wrote:
“We are heartbroken by the sudden passing of former Dolphins CB Vontae Davis and extend our deepest condolences to his family & loved ones during this difficult time.”
The Colts said in a statement:
“We are devastated to hear of Vontae Davis’s passing. He will be deeply missed, and we send our prayers to his family and loved ones.”
The Colts also shared a video tribute to the cornerback, calling him a “hero to so many.”
