Wilson Jr. was a former NFL player who played for the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1980s. He was known for his exceptional defensive back talent and off-field struggles, including drug addiction and legal troubles.

In 1999, Wilson Jr. was sentenced to 22 years for burglary and other charges. He was released in 2016 but later returned to jail for violating the terms of his parole.

Wilson died on February 1, 2023, at Metropolitan State Hospital after a long history of mental health issues. He was in custody when they reported he collapsed and was sent to the hospital.

The sudden death of professional football shocked people, and his family did not want to believe the officer when he reported he collapsed and died. 

He was in the mental hospital, the player was not in a good mental state when he died, and they believed he was suffering from a different mental health condition. 

Wilson was transferred to the hospital from jail after he collapsed while in custody. The hospital pronounced his death on the same day, February 1, 2023. 

The autopsy report is pending, so the leading cause of his death has not been out yet. The investigation is ongoing; more information regarding his death is still unknown.

Was Stanley Wilson Jr Beaten By Law Enforcement? 

The family of Stanley Wilson Jr. is disputing the official account of his death and alleging that law enforcement officers beat him before his death.

His family mentioned that they have pictures of him proving that he got beaten before he was taken to the hospital for medical attention. 

According to Stanley Wilson Jr.’s lawyer, John Carpenter, photos of his wounds suggest that he was kicked or stomped on and had ligature marks on his wrist, indicating he got restrained during the alleged attack.

John said, “You can tell from the ligature marks on his wrist that were the case, and there were fresh wounds to his forehead, which appeared to be caused by a shoe, and so that’s in stark contrast to what we’ve been told from the county regarding the circumstances of his death,”

Wilson Jr.’s family is now questioning whether moral obligations were followed after his death and if he received immediate help in distress.

Wilson’s family has filed legal claims against Los Angeles County, seeking $45 million in damages.

The investigation is ongoing. Hopefully, more information regarding the case will get revealed, and the truth behind Wilson’s death will be known. 

His family has been trying their best to provide him justice, and many viewers have supported Wilson’s family and shared prayers.
