Davie police confirmed that Davis was found dead Monday morning in a mansion in Southwest Ranches, the Miami Herald reported. The house assistant contacted authorities after finding Davis unresponsive, according to the newspaper.

Property records show Davis was found at a home owned by his grandmother, WSVN reported.

No foul play is suspected, although police spokesperson Sgt. Kelvin Urbaez emphasized to the Herald, “The investigation remains ACTIVE and ongoing.”

Davis was a first-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 2009, and he spent three years with the team before being traded to the Indianapolis Colts, WTVJ reported.

On social media, the Dolphins shared condolences for Davis’ family.

Representatives for the Colts said the team was “devasted to hear of Vontae Davis’s passing.”

“He was a standout player in his six seasons with the Horseshoe, but he was an even better teammate who carried a smile and positive energy every day,” the team said.

“We are saddened to learn of the passing of Vontae Davis,” the Bills wrote in a post on social media. “We are thinking of his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.”

Authorities continue to investigate.
