Former Bears defensive lineman Bryan Robinson died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office ruled.
Robinson was found dead in a Milwaukee motel room on June 11. He was 41.
A toxicology report showed Robinson had marijuana in his system and a blood-alcohol level of .211, but neither was a factor in his death, according to the medical examiner's office.
A 14-year NFL veteran, Robinson spent six seasons with the Bears from 1998 through 2003. He also played for the Rams, Dolphins, Bengals and Cardinals, last playing in 2010 for Arizona. Robinson appeared in 207 career games and was an anchor on the line for the 2001 NFC Central Division champion Bears. He played in Super Bowl XLIII with the Cardinals.
Robinson's career with the Bears is probably best remembered for the "Walter Payton game" on Nov. 7, 1999, the first game the team played after the death of the Hall of Fame running back. Robinson blocked a 28-yard field-goal attempt by Green Bay's Ryan Longwell as time expired to preserve a 14-13 victory at Lambeau Field and snap a 10-game losing streak to the Packers.
Robinson finished his career with 24 sacks and had 16{ as a member of the Bears. He was released in a cost-cutting move before the 2004 season as coach Lovie Smith didn't deem him to be a fit for the defense.
