TMZ recapped their prior report on Bruce’s tragic death:
As we reported, Bruce tragically passed away on April 28 after he suffered a medical episode while driving his car in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Bruce had become known nationally because of his play at powerhouse Florida H.S. St. Thomas Aquinas — where he torched defenders so often, he earned the nickname “The Samborghini.” The do-it-all athlete eventually signed with the Hurricanes, but was dismissed for violations of team rules just months into his freshman season.
Bruce’s death rocked the football world back in April — with many current and former NFL players, including Chad Johnson, mourning the loss on social media.
According to goodsciencing.com, 1199 athletes have suffered cardiac arrest and 800 died since the COVID-19 jab rollout.
