Kansas City Mourns as Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt Passes Away

In a tragic turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was found deceased in his Kansas City residence earlier today.

The 29-year-old athlete, who had recently rejoined the Chiefs, was discovered unresponsive by a family member.

Emergency services pronounced him dead at the scene. The cause of death remains under investigation, with authorities awaiting autopsy results.

Hunt’s journey in the NFL was marked by both exceptional talent and personal challenges. Drafted by the Chiefs in 2017, he led the league in rushing yards during his rookie season and earned a Pro Bowl selection. However, in 2018, the Chiefs released him following the emergence of a video showing him involved in a violent altercation. Hunt subsequently joined the Cleveland Browns, where he played until 2023. In September 2024, following an injury to running back Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs re-signed Hunt, offering him a second chance with the team.

Off the field, Hunt faced scrutiny but expressed gratitude for his opportunities. In a recent interview, he stated, “I’m grateful for the second chance with the Chiefs and aim to make the most of it.”

The news of Hunt’s passing has sent shockwaves through the NFL community. Teammates, coaches, and fans have taken to social media to express their condolences and share memories of his contributions on and off the field. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid remarked, “Kareem was a talented player and a vital part of our team. His loss is deeply felt by all of us.”

As the Chiefs organization and fans mourn this unexpected loss, plans for a memorial service are underway. The team has requested privacy for Hunt’s family during this difficult time.
