Suicide?

Any death of someone so young is horrible, but a suicide (if that's indeed what happened) is especially tragic.

RIP.

Terrible. "Found dead" implies "unexpected," so she probably wasn't ill recently (as was the case with Zimmer's wife).

Did they ever say how Zimmers wife died?

 

[LeonDixson]

RIP LeAnne. Condolences to Jay and both their families.

Did they ever say how Zimmers wife died?

I haven't been here in months and I'm only here for a moment. Jay Novacek is my fav Cowboy and those here that remember me know that to be the case. I got a text from the NFL an hour ago saying his wife passed away here in Tarrant County and it made me feel sick. I don't wish this kind of pain on anyone and especially people as nice as the Novaceks. My heart felt condolences to Jay and their family.

R.I.P Leanne
