Rondale Moore, a 25-year-old former receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, passed away on February 21, 2026. Shortly after the news of his death, numerous tributes poured in from his team and fans who were trying to come to terms with the shocking news. Since the death was sudden, many are questioning the cause of his passing.
Below are updates on what happened to Moore and what we know about his final days.
Moore was born in Indiana and began his football career in high school, attending Trinity High School in Louisville, Kentucky. He went on to play football at Purdue University and was recognized as a consensus All-American in his freshman year. In 2021, he was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the NFL Draft.
In 2024, he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons, and then in 2025, he played for the Minnesota Vikings.
After the news of the receiver’s death, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell wrote a tribute. He noted, «I am shocked by the news of Rondale’s passing. Although Rondale was with the Vikings for a short time, we got to know him well and cared deeply for him. He was a humble, quiet, and respectful young man who took pride in his Indiana roots. As a player, he was disciplined, dedicated, and resilient despite the many challenges he faced due to injuries throughout his career».
The official cause of Moore’s death had not been disclosed at the time of publication. However, according to WLKY, investigators found him in a garage and believe he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to the Louisville Courier Journal, Floyd County, Indiana coroner Matthew Tomlin confirmed Moore’s death and stated that «the cause of death is under investigation, and an autopsy will be conducted on Sunday [February 22]».
It remains unclear how Moore spent his final days. His last post on Instagram was published two days before the news of his death. It was a carousel of images, with the first being a photo of Moore sitting in the driver’s seat of a car with a large white bag that read, «In the process of working».
As previously mentioned, Tomlin, the Floyd County coroner, stated that the cause of Moore’s death is under investigation and that «there is currently no threat to the public»
