TMZ is reporting that a massive steal beam on a construction site fell and smashed Williams in the head, causing complete paralysis. Williams was the runner-up Rookie of the Year in 2010.
The mother of Mike Williams‘ daughter said Wednesday afternoon the former NFL player has not died … although she did say he is currently on life support inside a Florida hospital.
Tierney Lyle told the Tampa Bay Times … she and the couple’s daughter visited Williams Wednesday afternoon at the medical facility and he was “mostly non-responsive.”
“He was asleep when we went in there and he woke up when he heard our voices and his daughter’s voice,” Lyle said. “And he looked around, and he blinked and he was crying but he can’t move.”
Lyle told the outlet she was under the impression the plan was to take Williams off life support … though that has yet to happen.
