Tony Dungy's son found dead.



I'm not a Colts fan, but Dungy seems like a very classy guy. What a horrible thing to happen, let alone this time of year, combined with the Colts' success this year. :\

James Dungy, the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy, was found dead at 1:30 a.m. ET Thursday in his apartment in Lutz, Fla., a suburb of Tampa, Debbie Carter, a spokesperson for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, confirmed Thursday.

In a news release on its Web site, the Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office said it "responded to the Campus Lodge Apartments this morning at approximately 1:32 a.m. The girlfriend of James Dungy had returned to the apartment and discovered Dungy."

Police performed CPR on Dungy before he was taken to University Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No foul play is suspected, but a cause of death won't announced pending an autopsy, said Vida Morgan, a secretary in the sheriff's public information office.

Tony Dungy has left the Colts and is in Tampa, ESPN has learned.

The coach and his wife, Lauren, have four other children: daughters Tiara and Jade, and sons Eric and Jordan.

The Colts (13-1) are at Seattle on Saturday.

Fans posted prayers and messages of support for Dungy, who also coached the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on a message board on a Colts fan Web site.

"Not only was he a great football coach for the Bucs, but he is an even better person," one Tampa Bay fan wrote. "It makes me sick that it happened at this time of year to a person that is so giving and caring."

Another person wrote for God to give strength to Dungy during this difficult time.

"When things like this happen it adjusts our perspective on life," one person wrote. "What was considered major yesterday doesn't amount to more than a footnote today."

yeah it's a sad thing. Tony is a good guy.

Damn. That is something that you wouldn't wish on anyone. And Dungy does seem to be such a classy guy.

How sad. Parents should never have to bury their children.

I think the fact that it looks like it was a suicide will make it even tougher for Tony. I hope he doesn't feel responsible in some way, but I am sure he will. From what I've read, he was a quiet, good kid. It's too bad.
Oh an congrats to Peyton on being the first (that I know of) to utter the "this really puts things in perspective" platitude. What a hick.
