The wife of former Chiefs defensive end Allen Bailey found him dead inside their Florida home Tuesday, her brother, Alford Bailey Jr., told TMZ.
He was 37 years old.
Bailey’s family believes he died of natural causes, according to the outlet.
Former Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, who was teammates with Bailey for four seasons on the Chiefs, reacted to his death in an Instagram post.
“I am 💔 please pray 🙏🏾 For his family @ar_bailey97 one of the best teammates I have ever been lucky enough to be around,” Bowe wrote, including a photo of Bailey. “Thank you 4 Errthang 🕊️”.
Bailey spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with the Chiefs after Kansas City selected the University of Miami product in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
He then played two seasons in Atlanta, playing in 31 games before being released in 2021.
Bailey recorded 22 sacks and 248 combined tackles in 133 regular season NFL games during his career.
