- Father of two was on waiting list for liver transplant
- Hayes suspected pain medication contributed to disease
The former NFL linebacker Geno Hayes has died at the age of 33 after being diagnosed with liver disease following his retirement from football.
He had been under hospice care at his parents’ home until his death on Monday. He told ESPN last month that he had been on the waiting list for a liver transplant after being hospitalized more than 20 times over the last year.
