According to medical examiners, Ferguson died from the combined effects of drugs.
The death of Ferguson was ruled an accident by the Maryland Department of Health. He was a young man.
Ferguson was found unresponsive and being treated by medics after police responded to a home in the northern district. There were no signs of trauma or foul play, according to Baltimore police.
The Ravens said in a statement that they were focused on the man Jaylon was and the positive impact he had on so many. We continue to support his family and teammates, who are mourning the loss of a loved one, and will celebrate his life on Saturday.
Ferguson will be buried in Bains, Louisiana, where he was born.
Ferguson appeared to have worked hard to be in the best shape of his career, dropping a significant amount of weight. During the team's off-season workouts this spring, he was playing a bigger role on defense, while the starting outside linebackers were recovering from surgeries.
Ferguson is known as "Sack Daddy" due to his 45 career sacks. He made 67 tackles and 4.5 sacks in three seasons in the National Football League.
Three of Ferguson's children are under the age of five.
Many of the children's belongings were lost in a house fire, but Ferguson and his family were able to survive. He tried to put out the fire in order to save his children's possessions, but he burned his own toes in the process.
