Former Buc Mike Williams dies at 36
September 12, 2023 - Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams, 36, died Tuesday morning due to injuries suffered in a construction accident, his agent Hadley Engelhard told the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Reports circulated that Williams died last week while he was on life support at St. Joseph’s Hospital. His child’s mother, Tierney Lyle, then told multiple outlets that Williams was taken off life support Sept. 7 and remained responsive. Williams died due to an infected head laceration after a steel beam reportedly landed on his head.
