Former New England Patriots player Malik Gant dies aged 25 as family pay tribute

Former New England Patriots player Malik Gant has died at the age of 25, his family have confirmed.

Gant was found dead on May 25 in Miami, just four days before he was due to turn 26 years old. A cause of death has not yet been revealed.

The former Patriots star was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019, but spent the large part of his debut season in New England on the injury reserve list. The former NFL defensive back would leave Foxboro in July 2020 before re-signing a year later.
