TAMPA, Fla. — Former Bucs wide receiver Vincent Jackson died of “chronic alcohol use,” according to the autopsy report released Wednesday by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s office.
Jackson was found dead in a room at the Homewood Suites at the end of a cluster of hotels on South Falkenburg Road on Feb. 15. He was 38.
According to the toxicology report, three measurements taken of Jackson’s blood alcohol content ranged from .28 to .32, four times what the state considers impairment.
According to a preliminary case summary report by the sheriff’s office, there were no medications found in Jackson’s room, but a sheriff’s office source said numerous liquor bottles were discovered.
