Ed Oliver is mourning a tragic loss.
The 28-year-old Buffalo Bills defensive tackle’s son, also named Ed, passed away at the age of 2 due to an accidental drowning at their home.
“On behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization, we want to publicly express our condolences to Ed Oliver and his family on the devastating loss of his son. It’s an unthinkable tragedy for any parent. We will continue to support Ed and his family as we all grieve this loss,” the team’s general manager Brandon Beane said in a statement.
The young boy was “found unresponsive in a swimming pool by family members at a residence outside Houston,” ESPN reports.
A source close to the family asks for “privacy and prayers at this very difficult time.”
The incident reportedly occurred on June 28, when Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded “to an in-progress life-in-danger call,” per ESPN. He was reportedly discovered unresponsive by his parents in the swimming pool at their home, and taken by ambulance to a Houston hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Ed also has a daughter, Ava, with his longtime partner Dymond Gladney.
He has played with the Bills since 2019. According to ESPN, the Bills organization has been “aware of the incident since it occurred.”
Our thoughts are with Ed‘s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. RIP.
We have sadly lost many prominent stars in 2026.
