Kansas City Mourns the Loss of Chiefs’ Kareem Hunt
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was found deceased at his Kansas City home earlier today.
The 29-year-old athlete, who had recently rejoined the Chiefs, was discovered unresponsive by a family member. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of death, awaiting autopsy results.
Hunt’s NFL career was filled with both outstanding achievements and personal struggles. Drafted by the Chiefs in 2017, he made an immediate impact by leading the league in rushing yards as a rookie and earning a Pro Bowl selection.
However, in 2018, the Chiefs released him after a video surfaced showing him involved in a violent altercation. Hunt later joined the Cleveland Browns, where he played until 2023.
In September 2024, after an injury to running back Isiah Pacheco, the Chiefs brought Hunt back, giving him another opportunity to contribute to the team.
Off the field, Hunt faced challenges but remained grateful for his chances in the league. In a recent interview, he expressed, “I’m thankful for the second chance with the Chiefs and want to make the most of it.”
News of Hunt’s passing has sent shockwaves through the NFL community. Teammates, coaches, and fans have flooded social media with tributes, remembering his impact both on and off the field.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared, “Kareem was an incredible player and an essential part of our team. His passing is a profound loss for all of us.”
As the Chiefs and their fans grieve this tragic loss, plans for a memorial service are underway. The team has requested privacy for Hunt’s family during this difficult time.
