Hospitalization

This article from the Tampa Bay Times has quotes from the mother of his child that he is still currently on life support and says the report from a Buffalo news station about his death is premature. I have protected this article due to the high level of conflicting reports in the media until something is confirmed. Eagles 24/7 (C) 20:44, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think extended confirmed access is a bit of an overreaction, especially considering that the conflicting edits were made by folks who already have 500+ edits. In the meantime, the Personal section has two errors that need to be fixed:

Williams has a daughter with Tierney Lyle.

On September 1, 2023, he was severely injured

Celjski Grad (talk) 12:35, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --Engineerchange (talk) 12:41, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ESPN is reporting that he has been confirmed dead by his agent. ^[1] Nwebster84 (talk) 16:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "Personal" section should be renamed to "Personal life" or "Personal life and death". 71.212.1.84 (talk) 04:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Engineerchange (talk) 05:51, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
