    Arthur Jones, a key defensive lineman during the Baltimore
    Ravens' run to the Super Bowl title in 2013, has died, his
    former team announced Friday. He was 39.

    "We are terribly saddened to learn of Arthur Jones' sudden
    passing," Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement.

    Jones was credited with a sack and a fumble recovery in the
    game against the San Francisco 49ers that secured the Ravens'
    second Vince Lombardi Trophy.

    The game is remembered for a lengthy delay caused by a power
    outage inside New Orleans' Superdome. Jones' sack happened just
    moments before the outage. His fumble recovery in the second
    quarter helped set up a Ravens touchdown.

    "Arthur's presence was a gift to everyone he encountered," the
    statement continued. "His big, bright smile, infectious energy
    and eternal positivity created a presence that continuously
    uplifted others. He was kind, courteous and enthusiastic --
    always displaying a love for family, teammates and friends."

    Jones was the brother of UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones
    and former New England Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones.

    The Ravens selected Jones in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL
    Draft. He started 20 games for Baltimore over four seasons,
    finishing his stint with 81/2 sacks.

    Jones joined the Indianapolis Colts in 2014 and retired in 2017
    following a one-year stint with Washington.

    He finished his NFL career with 10 sacks.

    No indication of how/why he died?

    I mean, I suppose, for a pro-football player, dying at 39 might be "natural causes", but still...

    The cause of death has been revealed for former Super Bowl champion Arthur Jones.

    Jones died from a heart-related issue, according to Steve Infanti of NewsChannel 9 in Syracuse. Jones had a pre-existing heart condition, and
    had been implanted with a pacemaker. His pacemaker had been triggered on Friday morning, and by the time emergency personnel reached his home,
    Jones had already died.

    An Onondaga County Sheriff's spokesperson tells us that Arthur Jones' pacemaker went off this morning, automatically sending a message to his doctor. EMS responded to Jones' home just before 11 a.m., but he had
    already passed away. Jones had a pre-existing heart condition.
