The mother of former Notre Dame star defensive tackle Louis Nix has reportedly shared details of her son’s tragic death over the weekend.
On Saturday night, Nix’s mother confirmed her son had passed away at the age of 29. He had previously been reported missing by his family in Jacksonville, Fla. earlier in the week.
During the early reporting about Nix’s death, there was some belief that authorities had recovered the Fighting Irish alum’s car from the bottom of a pond. According to Jacksonville news anchor Ben Becker, Nix’s mom confirmed her son went into the water where he later died.
“It appears to be [an] accident, something may have distracted him lost control and went into the pond,” Becker tweeted.

All of this is absolutely awful to hear. Nix was a beloved figure among Notre Dame fans, not to mention his former teammates and coaches.
We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends during this unbearable time.
