Story via Hawaii News Now.

------------------

Supposedly, he was in the hospital for something, but the article didn't say. Also, he's had a troubled life, which include sexual misconduct allegations and a conviction while he was at the University of Colorado. (He was dismissed because of it, which is how he eventually ended up at the University of Hawaii.)

Opioids apparently.

I saw this coming a decade ago when it was apparent he had developed an addiction to painkillers after he had that car injury and got cut by the Redskins (or did that precede the accident)?

He went from falling from grace as a college freshman and the likely eventual starter at Colorado (when the Big 12 was powerful) to rising to relative fame at Hawaii, and then from the Sugar Bowl on everything was downhill (got crushed by probably the best team in America- UGA, drafted in the 6th round, found out he wasn't good enough to be a pro QB), and that last saga was the utter collapse. 

Sophocles could not have devised a better story for a modern tragic hero.

The article I just read about it is really pretty sad

According to his Dad he had tried to enter a detox facility and got rejected because they were full, 4 hours later he ingested something laced with Fentanyl at a party/gathering and lost consciousness and never woke back up
