Don't believe so, though Mellinger confirmed that it was not intentional.

They're probably waiting for all the test results which normally takes a few weeks. Cause of death will be public record once the death certificate is filed.

I hope it was undiagnosed heart thing. I don’t want the best Chiefs writer ever going out but by anything but natural causes.

Man, Terez's passing hasn't faded in my mind as much as other's whose work I admire that have passed recently. Maybe it's his relatively young age coupled with his extraordinary ascent. He was kinda like Lee Morgan or Clifford Brown. Young cat cut down in his prime, during one of the most remarkable seasons ever.

FMIA Guest: Patrick Mahomes Leads Tribute To Late Writer Terez Paylor

Patrick Mahomes

By Patrick Mahomes
Mahomes, the Kansas City quarterback, was covered by Kansas City Star reporter Terez Paylor in his first two NFL seasons.

I miss Terez Paylor. It’s crazy, and sad, to think he’s been gone for five months now.

In my first two years in Kansas City, he was the beat guy covering the Chiefs for the Kansas City Star. I thought Terez was what a big-time NFL writer should be. He asked insightful questions, not cliché questions. I always knew when he was going to interview me that he’d be prepared. He’d have done his homework. I think some of the best stories written about me came from him—he asked questions that made me think, and so I’d give him good answers back. That’s a big part of why I really enjoyed my interactions with him.

I trusted him. He never tried to play gotcha with me, never tried to catch me in something so he could make a headline out of it. What I always appreciated was that he asked me questions to really try to let the fans know the inside story of why a play worked, or why we won or lost. That trust led me, when I started my foundation in 2019, to think of Terez. He had left to go to Yahoo Sports by that time, but when I started my foundation, 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, I called him first. I wanted him to tell the story because I knew he’d tell it right.

One of the reasons I’m writing this today is that I feel we can’t let his legacy go dim. He deserves to be remembered, and to impact future journalists, for years to come.

Terez was just 37 years old. He had decades left to be a beacon for so many young journalists—particularly minority journalists. Terez didn’t get to be a national writer and forget where he came from. He knew as he rose in the business that he was a role model for minority journalists. He definitely knew who he was talking to, who he was writing for. It was for the football audience, yes, but it was also for a generation of journalists he was influencing and hoped would follow his path.

He knew he didn’t see many people from his race, people who looked like him, climbing the ladder in sports journalism. He wanted that to change, and I respected the heck out of him for that.

I hope through his scholarship fund at Howard University that young journalists study journalism well, and also study Terez’s path. I hope for years there is a stream of Terez Paylor Scholars entering the business and rising to the heights he did. Knowing Terez, and knowing where he came from, that would be a proud piece of his legacy.

Dang, I didn't even know he died. I guess I quite social media and this site for awhile after the SB and didn't catch this news. RIP, Terez. You were one of a kind. Too bad we can't have more like you.
