The hospital too that let a laceration become infected.
How do you know they “let” it get infected?

Yep, he scored seven points in a game for us early in the 07-08 season. Just an incredibly gifted all-around athlete, similar to McNabb.Add in that he was really a basketball player who ended up playing football because he was a tweener in basketball and had the perfect body for a football WR and that makes what he did at Syracuse and in the NFL even more remarkable.
From the moment he first set foot on the field, he was different and a major factor for Syracuse football.
It is very rare for a freshman to be a difference maker right away and it is even more impressive given he came from a football program and a football league that is not known for producing a lot of great players.

He was a blast to watch play. He had everything you wanted from a fan perspective: great talent, a huge heart and extraordinary competitiveness.
RIP Mike. You will never be forgotten in Syracuse.
Wow that's crazy. I just saw an Emergency episode with this storyline. Very sad story all around.Police investigating ex-NFL player Williams' death

Wow. It definitely felt weird that the story went from “he passed away”, to “he’s alive and recovering” to “now he really did pass away”.Police investigating ex-NFL player Williams' death

Bizarre all around. And sad. This whole story sucks.
Even stranger…
Former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams died of brain infections stemming from dental problems, officials say — Fox News
Medical examiners have released an official cause of death for former NFL wide receiver Mike Williams after there were conflicting reports of his passing in September.apple.news
Sounds like a tragic case of someone who hated to go to the dentist and allowed their dental health to really deteriorate. It’s been long known that neglecting one’s dental health affects the heart through infection. Gum disease can affect the brain if not treated, causing infection, sepsis even dementia. Sad.Williams eventually died on Sept. 12 at the age of 36, and the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner Department said he succumbed to "Bacterial Sepsis with Cerebral Abscesses and Necrotizing Lobar Pneumonia due to multiple Dental Caries and retained tooth roots."
(Dental caries is a prevalent chronic infectious disease resulting from tooth-adherent cariogenic bacteria that metabolize sugars to produce acid, which over time demineralizes tooth structure.)
Essentially, his brain had pus growing around it after he had severe dental problems to the point where infections spread. Initial tests showed he had brain swelling and infections.
Very interesting to people who just had a root canal. Like me.
