Texas Sheriff Closes Investigation into Death of Bills’ Ed Oliver’s Son
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the investigation into the drowning of Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver’s two-year-old son found no criminal activity and the case has been closed. Oliver’s son died in a drowning at the family’s Houston home in late June, a loss that prompted condolences from the Buffalo Bills and grief among teammates.
The team’s quarterback Josh Allen expressed sadness and anger over premature media reports, while head coach Joe Brady clarified that Oliver missed a preseason game due to the family tragedy rather than injury. The Bills have supported Oliver during preseason activities following the accidental drowning.
