Vontae Davis passed away aged 35 last year in April, and people around him still couldn’t recover from the trauma.
Recently, the former executive assistant to Davis, Cristina M. Friebe, recounted the traumatic moment when she discovered Davis’s body. She found the former NFL cornerback dead on April 1, 2024, in his home gym in Southwest Ranches, Florida.
Friebe received a frantic call from a newly hired personal assistant who was on just her fourth day of work.
“There’s blood everywhere,” that’s all she heard from the new joinee.
Upon hearing this, Friebe instinctively rushed to the scene, immediately knowing it was too late. However, she later described the experience as one of the most dreadful moments of her life.
Davis, who was only 35 years old at the time of his d3ath, was found in a supine position, naked. As per reports, he was wearing only a metal necklace when the housekeeper discovered him.

Evidence of drug use included a burnt spoon and traces of vomit in the master bedroom.
Despite the prosecutorial evidence, Friebe insisted she had never witnessed Davis using drugs during her tenure.
“I never saw him doing drugs or anything like that. If I had seen that, I wouldn’t have taken the job,” she said.

Davis had consumed a dangerous cocktail of drugs, including methamphetamine and MDMA, before his collapse and subsequent d3ath. The medical examiner ruled the cause of d3ath as “undetermined.” Additionally, they found MDMA and THC in his system.
