The Iowa state medical examiner's office said an autopsy
would be conducted on Wednesday.
Sash, a safety, was a sixth-round pick by the Giants in the 2011
NFL draft and spent two seasons with the team, winning a Super
Bowl, before being cut in August 2013. He had previously starred
for the University of Iowa with 13 interceptions and a team
record 392 interception return yards. Sash was suspended by the
NFL in 2012 for violating the league's policy on
performance-enhancing substances, admitting he took the
prescription drug Adderall for an anxiety condition. "We are all
very saddened to hear about the untimely loss of Tyler," Iowa
coach Kirk Ferentz released a statement.
"It is always so difficult when it involves someone this young.
Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to Tyler's family
during this extremely difficult time."
