According to new police documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Demaryius Thomas was found dead in the shower at 7 PM on Thursday.
The cops were initially dispatched to Thomas' Roswell, GA residence after they received a call about a cardiac arrest.
Dispatch advised officers that the victim was not conscious and not breathing.
When officers arrived, they said they had to open the gate with their hands in order to get into the home.
It was.
Police say they found Thomas laying on his back in the shower, with signs of rigor mortis visible.
The former Super Bowl champion was pronounced dead on the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for Friday.
The news of the tragedy has devastated the NFL community, with stars like Tim Tebow, Von Miller and Tom Brady writing emotional messages to the former Broncos wide receiver on social media.
Brady, who played with Thomas in New England, said he was sad to hear about his friend's passing. We were blessed with his humility and positive spirit, and we will all miss him.
"So many will remember him for his athletic ability, but I will remember him for his kindness, his smile that would light up a room, and the love he had for those in his life."
On Christmas, Thomas would have been 34 years old.
I am sad.
