Former Cowboys Quarterback Dies Of Severe Sepsis
Craig Morton, a former NFL quarterback, tragically passed away last week. It is reported that Morton, who started Super Bowls for both the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, passed away at the age of 83.
He was the first quarterback in NFL history to start a Super Bowl for two different teams. The cause of death was not disclosed at the time of death.v
According to the New York Post, Morton died on May 9 from “acute respiratory failure due to severe sepsis caused by urinary tract infection.” A spokesperson for the Marin County Vital Statistics Office stated that Morton died at MarinHealth Medical Center in Greenbrae, California.
In a statement to the Denver Post, Kym Galloway, the former Cowboys signal-caller’s wife, stated that her husband had stated he was “tired of being sick” in the days leading up to his death.
“He was tired of his back; he was really in a lot of pain with his back,” Galloway said. “And he just said, ‘I give (up). I’m ready to go. I don’t want to do this anymore. I’ve had an amazing life. And I’m just tired.
“And then … he said, ‘I’ve never said I give (up), in my life.’”
