The IFL (International Fight League), a Mixed Martial Arts organization, confirmed the death of Jeremy Williams (7-2). According to the Orange County Coroner, a cause of death is to be determined. Many close to the situation say it may have been the result of an apparent suicide, but this has not been confirmed.
“This is a very sad day for the Williams family, Jeremy’s teammates and all of the Mixed Martial Arts community,” IFL Co-founder and Commissioner Kurt Otto said. “Jeremy was a tremendous competitor and teammate, as well as being a very strong person who lifted the spirits of everyone around him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeremy’s wife, Lauren, their young daughter and the rest of his family, as well as his coaches Marco Ruas and Debi Purcell and all his teammates. Everyone at the IFL, as well as the entire MMA community, will do everything we can to support them in their hour of need.”
