This morning, WAPT News broke that one Nkemdiche brother was taken to a hospital Monday. Then, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport identified Denzel Nkemdiche who was found unresponsive by the Ridgeland, Mississippi police, according to The Clarion-Ledger.

The Ridgeland police issued a press release stating the officers responded to a medical aid call at 9:31 a.m. Monday morning about an “unresponsive male.” The Ridgeland Fire Department was also called to the scene for assistance. After the response, Nkemdiche was sent to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

The Clarion-Ledger reports that UMMC said Tuesday morning there were no patient listed under Nkemdiche’s name.

Last month, the Ole Miss’ linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche has previously been taken to a hospital in Oxford. He has not played in games against the LSU and the Mississippi State since the hospitalization.

The reasons for either hospitalizations are undisclosed.
