Ray Lewis III, Son Of Ravens Hall Of Famer, Died Of Overdose: Report

FLORIDA — Ray Lewis III, the son of two-time Super Bowl champion and Baltimore Ravens Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, died by accident at his Florida home in June due to a mix of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine, the Seminole County Medical Examiner’s Office told The Baltimore Sun Saturday.

Lewis, 28, was found dead June 14 after officers were called to a central Florida home and found him unconscious in a bedroom, according to the Casselberry Police Department.

A person in the home was attempting CPR on Lewis when an officer arrived at the scene, according to the police report. The officer was advised by a second person that Lewis needed the opioid-overdose antidote naloxone, which the officer administered using Narcan, the report said.

The Seminole County Fire Department took Lewis to the Advent Health Hospital in Altamonte Springs, where he was declared dead, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

Lewis' funeral was held June 24 at Calvary Orlando church in Florida, according to a photo of the service's program shared on Instagram by retired Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin.

In the program's acknowledgments, Lewis III's father, Ray, his mother Tatyana McCall, and the family wrote, "Ray (Ray Ray) Lewis III's parents and family would like to express our dearest thanks to all of you for the love, support and kind deeds you've shown us during the loss of our loved one. Your kindness is deeply appreciated. It is our prayer that God surrounds you with grace, mercy and an overflow of blessings."

Throughout his life, Lewis followed the path of his father, who is credited with forever changing the position of NFL middle linebacker during his 17-year career with the Ravens, The Baltimore Sun reported. Ray Lewis retired from football in 2013.

The younger Lewis played football at Lake Mary Prep in Florida where he scored 34 touchdowns in 2011, the Sentinel reported. He went on to play college football at the University of Miami, Coastal Carolina and Virginia Union universities, according to WBAL.

His coach at Virginia Union, Mark James, said his former player "was a great kid."

"He played hard and it was a pleasure knowing him," James told The Associated Press after Lewis' death.

"Be our guardian," Lewis' brother, Rahsaan Lewis, wrote on Instagram. "I promise I’ll make you smile and be proud."
