Super Bowl Champion Matt Ulrich Dies at 41; Cause Unknown, Death Sparks Vaccine Conspiracy Theories

Ulrich, a former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman, leaves behind wife and four children; spread of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccine being the cause of death is refuted by family members.

Former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Matt Ulrich has died at the age of 41; the cause of death remains undisclosed.
Ulrich is survived by his wife, Alison Ulrich, and their four sons: Gunther, Dalton, Bowden, and Thoreau.
Following Ulrich's death, a conspiracy theory linking his passing to the COVID-19 vaccine started circulating; family members, including a reported cousin, have refuted these claims.
After his NFL career, Ulrich cofounded DexaFit LLC, a chain of body fat and metabolic testing centers, and served as managing director and partner at Profitable Ideas Exchange, which provides peer networking for executives.
He was also involved in Harvard University's Football Players Health Study, acting as an advisor to the study exploring the impacts of football on former NFL players' health.
An online fundraiser has been initiated to support Ulrich's family, raising tens of thousands of dollars already in the wake of his unexpected passing.
