Former Chicago Bears Safety Dave Duerson was found dead Thursday night in his Miami home, the Miami Dade county coroner confirmed.
The coroner did not state a cause of death.
Duerson's family asks that he be remembered warmly.
"Our family asks that you please remember Dave as a good, kind, and caring man," Alicia Duerson, Dave's ex-wife told NBCChicago. "He loved and cherished his family and friends and was extremely proud of his beloved Notre Dame and ……chicago Bears. Please keep Dave and*our family in your prayers."

Duerson, 51, left an indelible mark on the Chicago football world. He earned All America honors at Notre Dame University, and won a Super*Bowl ring with the 1985 Chicago Bears.
He went on to win another Super Bowl title with the New York Giants before retiring in 1993.
After his 11-year NFL career, he followed his dream to become a manufacturer and owned and operated Brooks Sausage Company, later known as Fair Oaks Farms, where he supplied sausage to fast food chains.*
Despite doubling his profits, Duerson fell on hard times, sold the business and went through a divorce from his wife Alicia after a public domestic dispute in South Bend, Ind.*
The notoriety bled into his career and Duerson lost his position as a Notre Dame University trustee after the scrap.
Recently Duerson hosted an Internet radio show called "Double Time with Double D" on Voice of America. He broadcast his final show Thursday.
Duerson leaves behind four Children, including a 15-year-old named Tregg who lives in Chicago.
