Former San Francisco 49ers defensive end Aldon Smith dies at 36 after being discovered unresponsive in a Bay Area location, according to multiple reports. Sources describe how Smith spent his final day helping others: a retired pastor and a friend say he made an unannounced visit to a homeless charity and delivered pizzas shortly before he was found. One account says he donated 10 pizzas to a local charity, and another describes pizza deliveries connected to helping people experiencing homelessness.
The reports also describe the circumstances of his death. A friend says he found Smith slumped over in the passenger seat of a white Chevrolet pickup truck on June 13. Smith was then taken to a hospital, where he was later declared dead. The accounts focus on what Smith did in his final hours and the immediate emergency that followed being found unresponsive. None of the sources provided a confirmed official determination of the cause of death in the excerpts, while they consistently attribute the final moments to charitable work and a sudden medical incident leading to his collapse.
