The NFL world is still shook after it was announced last week that former defensive tackle Tony Siragusa had passed away at just 55 years of age.

This weekend, TMZ Sports had more details about Tony Siragusa’s untimely passing.

Per their report:

“The Toms River Police Department tells us officers were dispatched to a home on the barrier island in the beach section of town at around 11:45 AM … after receiving a call about a “CPR in progress.”

Cops say Siragusa was pronounced dead on the scene shortly after officers and EMS arrived. He was 55 years old.”

Tony Siragusa lost his own father to a heart attack when he was in his early 20s. And over the years he had expressed his sorrow over that period of his life.

Tony Siragusa was loved by his teammates and anyone who came across him, and was known for having an awesome personality.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with his family and loved ones during this time.
