According to the Associated Press, Minnesota’s Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office cited the 38-year-old’s cause of death as chronic alcohol use. Adam, the son of former Vikings head coach, died on October 31. The Cincinnati Bengals organization confirmed the news via a statement on November 1.
“The Bengals are saddened to learn the devastating news about team Offensive Analyst Adam Zimmer,” the team began. “Team President Mike Brown offered the following statement: ‘Our organization has had the privilege of knowing and working with the Zimmer family for 15 years. We have the highest regard for Mike and Adam, and we are incredibly saddened by this tragic news. Mike and Adam were more than just coaches for us — they were friends.
“We are heartbroken to hear about the passing of Adam Zimmer,” the Vikings organization said in a statement at the time. “Adam was a kind, respectful man, and over his years in Minnesota, it was evident he cared tremendously about his family, his players, his fellow coaches and the Vikings front office staff.
