Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche found unresponsive

Ole Miss linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche was found unresponsive and was reportedly taken to a nearby medical facility.

It’s been a weird year for Ole Miss football and the Nkemdiche brothers. After Robert Nkemdiche had fallen out the window of a four-story building, which will lead to him missing the Sugar Bowl for the Rebels, his brother Denzel, was found unresponsive in Jackson on Monday morning.

According to the press release, emergency personnel responded to a medical aid call and that’s where they found Nkemdiche unresponsive. However, the University of Mississippi Medical Center has said that there was no one there under Denzel’s name.

"According to a press release issued by the Ridgeland Police Department, officers responded to 711 Lake Harbor Drive at 9:31 Monday morning for reports of an “unresponsive male.” Nkemdiche was not named in the release.The call was deemed a “medical aid call,” and Ridgeland Fire Department was called to the scene to assist, according to the release.Nkemdiche was then transported to University of Mississippi Medical Center.Tuesday morning, UMMC said there was no patient listed under Nkemdiche’s name.Ridgeland Chief John Neal would only say, “No law enforcement action taken and there is no criminal investigation at this time.”"

This whole situation has certainly become a strange one. Nkemdiche wasn’t named in the release and the hospital says that no one under his name was there.

He certainly could have been there, and perhaps they aren’t divulging sensitive info, but the big thing is that hopefully Nkemdiche is doing well and if he was indeed admitted, that his health is improving.

What has happened with him and his brother over the last couple of weeks has created one of the weirder stories in college football that will surely keep evolving.

Denzel was admitted to an Oxford hospital last month, and has had some previous medical treatment. Neither he nor his brother will be playing for the Rebels in the Sugar Bowl.
