Buffalo Bills star Ed Oliver’s two-year-old son dies in reported drowning incident

The Buffalo Bills have confirmed the death of defensive tackle Ed Oliver's two-year-old son, who reportedly drowned in a swimming pool at the family's Texas home earlier this summer. We will continue to support Ed and his family as we all grieve this tragic loss.” The Houston Chronicle reported on the fatal incident in Huffman, Texas, at the time, without identifying the victim. A dispatcher for the Harris County Sheriff's Office was unable to immediately provide The Independent with additional information Saturday.

In a Facebook post two days after the drowning, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said deputies found the toddler unresponsive in a pool in the 500 block of Lago Trace Drive in Huffman. The child was rushed to a local hospital and pronounced dead, Gonzalez said, calling it a “tragic incident” and saying an investigation was underway.
