According to Chicago Tribune reports:
Former Bears defensive lineman Bryan Robinson was found dead in a Milwaukee motel room Saturday. While circumstances surrounding the death of the 41-year-old prompted a series of questions, some of which authorities continue to investigate, former teammates and coaches mourned the loss of a tough player and respected mentor.
Robinson was pronounced dead at 10:17 p.m. Saturday after being found at Midpoint Motel on the city’s northwest side. Cause of death is pending further toxicology after an autopsy Monday, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s office. Milwaukee Police Sgt. Tim Gauerke said Robinson’s death is being investigated as a sudden death and not a homicide.

A 14-year NFL veteran, Robinson spent six seasons with the Bears from 19 98 to 2003. He also played for the Rams, Dolphins, Bengals and Cardinals, last playing in 2010. Robinson appeared in 207 career games and was an anchor on the line for the 2001 NFC Central champion Bears. He played in Super Bowl XLIII with the Cardinals.
According to Tribute reports:
Motel staff, which told authorities Robinson was a regular guest, discovered him at about 8:30 p.m. after entering his room. Robinson had rented the room for six hours and had not departed on time. He checked in with an unidentified male, who left between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., according to the police report.
A crushed toilet paper roll was in the crook of Robinson’s left arm, the report said. Also discovered in the room were two bottles of Jungle Juice Plus, the brand name for a popper that includes acetone and nitrite and is huffed to relax the body. One bottle was empty. Authorities found marijuana, a mostly full bottle of Crown Royal whisky and the keys to Robinson’s Land Rover, which is registered to his wife, Angela, and was in the parking lot.
Just terrible. We don’t want to jump to any conclusions but it sounds like he started going down the wrong path after his retirement. Robinson joined the St. Louis Rams as an undrafted free agent from Fresno State in 1997, before joining the Bears in 1998, after that he played for the Miami Dolphins in 2004, the Cincinnati Bengals from 2005-2007 and with the Arizona Cardinals from 2008-2010, a stint that included a trip to the Super Bowl.
