Former Iowa Football Player, 23, Dies Suddenly
Daily Fetched ^ | July 19, 2023 | Jason Walsh

A former Iowa football player and offensive lineman for the Iowa Buckeyes college football team died suddenly and unexpectedly at just 23 years old.

The New York Post reported Cody Ince died “unexpectedly at his home near Grantsburg, Wisconsin,” according to his obituary.

The cause of death is not yet known.

The Daily Mail reported that Ince was an NFL hopeful and had a “legitimate NFL career” before injuries forced him to quit.

Ince was forced to quit playing with one year of eligibility remaining.

Ince started ten games for Iowa between 2018 and 2021 and racked up a total of 18 from 2020 to 2021, and was an All-Big Ten honorable mention selection for 2020

“I am incredibly sad to hear about Cody Ince’s sudden passing,” Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement.

“Cody was a tremendous young man, valued teammate, and contributor to our program. He loved football, fishing, and hunting and believed in the importance of family and friendships. Cody was just beginning this next chapter of his life and was about to be married,” Ferentz added.

Former Iowa teammate Arland Bruce IV said Ince “showed [him] what true leadership looks like and how to be a great teammate.”

Bruce IV is the son of a former professional football player, Arland Bruce III.

Tyron Tracy Jr., a former team member, said he “had the honor of knowing and playing with Cody while I was at the University of Iowa. He was not only a great teammate but an amazing person!”

“Always smiling and cracking jokes, but he took his job on the field personally, and I loved that about him. He used to always bring in deer jerky or sunflower seeds, and he made sure I got some every time,” the message added.

Players said they could tell how much it meant to him to be playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes.

“Everybody loved Cody. I think that says a lot about him and his come-up,” said teammate Logan Jones.

“My condolences go out to him and his family and his fiancee as well,” Jones added.

“Suddenly” covers a lot of ground. Some undiagnosed illness or injury possibly related to sports. An accident. Misadventure. Suicide.

Dang! That ‘Suddenly’ death illness is getting to be an everyday thing.
Well it is helping to thin out population along with abortion and that’s what evil people in this world want.

Well, to be fair the “porn” arises from advocates stripping the Vid19 and it’s Vaxxx naked and telling everyone various forms of “safe and effective”, when in fact it was all a purposeful lie.

I’ve been around long enough to have been lied to before and in fact so long I remember a world where the phrase, “The Ring of Truth” actually meant something. That’s why I didn’t and never will get the Vaxxx that’s not a vaccine no matter how they threaten job, family, status, inclusion or any other material thing.

Veracity today isn’t like in the past. Now it is measured but a partnership between government and ROI.

I could see the lie as far back as Feb2020...
It just didn’t ring true.

So yes your are correct, we are rubbernecking a crash we didn’t cause or participate in making...
Guilty as charged...

Since the beginning of time. Why do you think people had a dozen kids back in the 20’s through 40’s? Half didn’t make it to adulthood. Without the internet, most porn deaths wouldn’t be known. It’s an addiction for many.

Being that it’s Iowa, I’d bet fentanyl. That state is stockpiled full of it.

The Deadly and Delusional Lying Left: “Cull”.

The rest of us ordinary folks: “KILL” or “MURDER”.

More likely he got depressed, saw a shrink and was put on suicide inducing drugs

I’m talking about young people smart guy. Don’t remember so many people dying suddenly. When Hank Gathers died that’s all they talked about and they even knew what the exact issue was. No suddenly it’s just normal for under 25 year olds to die suddenly.

I’m sorry you took that poison. Go gaslight somewhere else.

They knew why people died then. There were reasons, not “died suddenly”. That was a different time.

I’m sorry you took that poison.

That’s exactly what’s going on. That’s why they continue to chase these stories.
