Thanks for the link. I heard the blip on WFLA, but found nothing on their website, or on the SPTimes, Tribune's, Google or Yahoo.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

From the link in #4 it looks like suicide.

This is on our local news website here in TAmpa. Tony Dungy is greatly loved by the Tampa Bay people. He truly is a great man and this is so sad.

Former Bucs Coach's Son Dies

The 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy has been found dead at the Campus Lodge apartments in Lutz.Fire rescue and deputies went there because of a call from his roommates and girl friend. A death investigation is underway--but the sheriff's office says there's a high probability that the death of James Dungy was a suicide.

This is horrible news; the coach is such a nice guy.

[wallcrawlr]

This is terrible.

Suicide...what were the problems.

18 year old son found dead in Tampa. Medical examiner expects to make a statement later today.

[Sometimes A River]

Hank Greenberg on WQAM just quoted Sheriff saying "high probability" death was a suicide.

Just Damn.

I hate the Colts, but love Dungy. Class of the league. Right at Christmas, this is just a nightmare.

[Dubh_Ghlase]

Just read the news. My prayers go out to the family, as Tony Dungy is one class act. What a crying shame...

[WV Mountain Mama]

Oh no. I really like coach Dungy. He always seems to have so much composure and class. Prayers for the family, such a hard loss.

[Antoninus]

What awful news.

Poor coach Dungy! Let's pray for him and his family.

[ken5050]

suicide = euphamism for drug OD?

[Warren_Piece]

We may never know. Suicides always go up this time of year. (...and no, it isn't a bogus statistic like wife beatings going up during the Super Bowl)

[Frapster]

I don't know and of course anything's possible. Regardless of the circumstances the news is tragic for the family. Tony Dungy is a stand-up guy and I'm really sorry for him and his wife.
