Medical Examiner's Preliminary Findings

A medical examiner's preliminary report Friday confirmed that the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy took his own life, although the cause of death will not be determined for four to six weeks.
Dr. Jacqueline Lee released the findings and said there was no evidence of foul play. Lee ordered a toxicology study, and until it is finished the cause and manner of James Dungy's death are listed as pending.

His girlfriend found him unresponsive early Thursday, Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said. Carter said evidence at the scene indicated he had killed himself.

A sheriff's deputy performed CPR before an ambulance took him to University Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Tony Dungy took the team plane from Indianapolis to Tampa, Fla., where he had coached the Buccaneers from 1996-01. He has taken leave from the team, which is 13-1 and will be coached by assistant Jim Caldwell for Saturday's game at Seattle.

The headline of today's Tampa Tribune sums it up well:

James had struggled with depression for a period of time, He did this back in October and called 911 before he died,he was baker acted and release after 72 hours.
I think this was just another calling out but it took his life this time.
He was with his girlfriend, she went out for a walk, and she came back and found him. I think there was something there with that.
His calling hours are Monday night and his funeral is Tuesday.
What a terrible thing for the whole Dungy family, and what a tragic event during the holidays, their holidays for the rest of their lives will never be the same.
I truely hope that Tony turns this into an education for people, parents and children so look up to him so this tragic event could be turned into an education for everyone.
Suicide doesn't care what gender,race,or social class you are.
Godspeed
