Former Jaguars offensive lineman's death ruled accidental from drug use

The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office determined that 38-year-old Vince Manuwai's cause of death was acute ecstasy intoxication.

HONOLULU (AP) - Hawaii authorities say the death of a former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman was accidental from drug use.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office determined that 38-year-old Vince Manuwai's cause of death was acute ecstasy intoxication.

The University of Hawaii football standout died Nov. 4 after collapsing while moving into an apartment in Honolulu.

The medical examiner's office says recent cocaine use was also a significant factor in his death.

The Jaguars chose Manuwai during the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft.

He played eight seasons with the Florida team. He was also on the Atlanta Falcons' practice squad in 2012.
