Hamilton County Coroner Dr. O’dell Owens said Vikki Zimmer, the wife of Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, died of natural causes at her home Thursday night.
Owens cannot yet say the exact cause of death because all toxicology tests are not complete. He said all signs show the death was not the result of foul play or some sort of accident. Zimmer was 50.
The nation’s eyes were on the sad and sudden death of Zimmer Sunday when the Bengals beat the Baltimore Ravens in the last 15 minutes of the game.
As the team returned triumphant to the locker room, national television cameras caught the emotion of the team presenting the game ball to Mike Zimmer.
"It was a great tribute to Mike Zimmer and his family," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "It’s just awesome. I don’t know how it could be any better for that. It’s great."
Zimmer decided to coach at the away game, bringing his father, son and one of his daughters with him.
