Former Dolphin punter Reggie Roby was found dead on Tuesday at his home. He was 43 years of age.

His wife, Melissa Roby, found his body unconscious at the couple's home. Paramedics tried resuscitating him, but he was pronounced dead in the emergency room at St. Thomas Hospital. As of now, the cause of death is unknown.

Roby was a sixth-round pick in 1983 out of Iowa by the Miami Dolphins, where he played from 1983-92. He also played for the Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston/Tennessee Oilers and San Francisco 49ers, where he wrapped up his career with a final season in 1999.

Roby, who had six children, was the marketing and development director for Backfield in Motion, a nonprofit group mixing athletics and academics to help boys in the inner city.
