Former NFL receiver Mike Williams has shown signs of improvement as he continues to fight for his life, days after erroneous reports of his death due to a construction accident circulated.
Williams, 36, was reportedly pronounced dead Tuesday, per the New York Post and other outlets, after supposedly suffering a serious head injury while performing electrical work in Florida on Aug. 21. A day later, the Tampa Bay Times reported the ex-Buccaneers and Bills wideout was still alive and had been placed on life support at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa.
With questions surrounding Williams’s health, Tierney Lyle, the mother of Williams’s 8-year-old daughter, confirmed Thursday that Williams was in fact responsive and set to be taken off a ventilator.
