Williams spent most of his career in Tampa Bay and had an accident while working another job there.

This is a sad thing, I don't know what happened. Prayers for the family in this difficult time.

He has not died:

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story stated incorrectly that Mike Williams had died after the construction accident. He is not dead and is currently on life support.

Went to look him up on Pro Football Reference. This is what I got:

@morgulon1 Can you edit the thread title to reflect he’s on life support?

Done.

Sad that he woke up crying in the hospital. Terrible state to be in, to wake up like that and realize your body is done for.

He has been taken off life support and is responsive. Good news.

 

[morgulon1]

That is cool.

Now being reported that he passed away yesterday (confirmed by his agent).

Sucks

Work accidents are always devastating. It's a terrible thing whenever a man doesn't make it home from work. It's a shame that he was in a position where he was doing risky work; you kind of assume former players lead a chill life.

For some reason I had him confused with Doug Williams. Sad anyway.
