April 21, 2025 | Omaha, Nebraska – In a shocking development early this morning, Dr. Leonard Voss of Omaha General Hospital confirmed the passing of Ndamukong Suh, the former NFL defensive tackle who rose to national prominence during his time with the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Suh, 38, was reportedly rushed to the hospital late last night after what witnesses described as a “sudden and severe medical emergency” at his residence in downtown Omaha. He was pronounced dead at 4:23 AM. The cause of death has not yet been officially released, though early reports suggest it may have been cardiac-related.
“Ndamukong was brought in under critical condition,” said Dr. Voss during a brief press conference outside the ER. “Despite all resuscitation efforts by our trauma team, he unfortunately succumbed to his condition. Our thoughts are with his family during this incredibly difficult time.”
Suh’s impact on both college and professional football is undeniable. Born on January 6, 1987, in Portland, Oregon, Suh became a household name during his time at the University of Nebraska, where he dominated as a defensive tackle and earned All-American honors. In 2010, he was drafted second overall by the Detroit Lions and quickly made a name for himself with his powerful play style and tenacity on the field.
During his NFL career, Suh also played for the Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles, winning a Super Bowl with the Bucs in 2021. Off the field, he was known for his philanthropic work, including generous donations to youth education programs and inner-city sports initiatives.
Former teammates, coaches, and fans have begun to share tributes online, remembering Suh not just as a fierce competitor, but as a leader, mentor, and devoted family man.
The Suh family has asked for privacy and is expected to release an official statement later today. A memorial service is reportedly being planned in Lincoln, Nebraska, where Suh’s legendary college career began.
