That sucks. Only 50.
CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bengals are mourning the loss of Vikki Zimmer, the wife of the team's defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer.
The team said she passed away Thursday in Cincinnati.
Police say Mike came home Thursday evening and found his 50-year-old wife dead and called 9-1-1.
The Hamilton County Coroner's Office says foul play is not suspected. A cause of death has not been determined.
No other information has been released.
The Zimmers were married for 27 years, with three children.
“We are stunned and saddened to learn of Vikki’s passing,” said Bengals president Mike Brown. “She was a warm and popular person in the Bengals family, and our immense respect and affection for Mike makes this especially hard. Our hearts go out to Mike and his family.”
“Mike is part of our Bengals family, and we’ll support him in every way we can,” said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis. “We will dearly miss Vikki. She was a friend to all of us, and a big supporter of Mike’s players. Her thoughtfulness to them in so many ways will also be greatly missed.”
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
Mike Zimmer, a 10-year defensive coordinator in the NFL, is in his second season with the Bengals.
