James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead at 1:30 a.m. ET Thursday in his apartment in Lutz, Fla., a suburb of Tampa, Debbie Carter, a spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, confirmed Thursday.
A death investigation is under way, and the spokesperson said that the county medical examiner's office or the hospital at which James Dungy was pronounced dead would have a ruling on the cause of death.
James Dungy officially was pronounced dead this morning at University Community Hospital in Tampa.
Tony Dungy has left the Colts and is in Tampa. Indianapolis plays at Seattle this Saturday.
 
Unbelievable. Your thoughts and prayers have to go out to anyone who experiences this, especially during the holidays. You have to wonder if Dungy hadn't seen his son since Thanksgiving, because they live in different states. Just devastating.

God. I just saw this, and I couldn't help, but feel sick. God forbid something like this happen to anyone, let alone to such a great guy like Tony Dungy. This is a guy that I have respected for such a long time, and is a great coach and person. Once again my thoughts and prayers go out to the Dungy family on this very tragic event.

I just got an elert from CNN.com that Dungy's teen son has died. I don't know if he was sick or had an accident, but nothing can possibly be worse for a parent. Prayers to the coach and family.:(
