sport news Adam Zimmer's sister grieves publicly after the Bengals assistant coach's ... trends now
The sister of late Cincinnati Bengals assistant coach Adam Zimmer shared her grief on Instagram Wednesday after her brother died unexpectedly at age 38 in his Minnesota home days earlier.
'My heart [is] physically hurting so bad,' wrote Zimmer's sister, Corri Zimmer White. 'How can one family handle so much pain? I miss you so much my big brother.'
Corri included a collage of pictures of her, Adam, and their father Mike, the former head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. The Zimmer family lost their matriarch, Vikki, unexpectedly in 2009. She was just 50.
A cause of death has not been determined, but the Hennepin County (Minnesota) medical examiner is investigating. Police captain Wayne Wegener told the Star Tribune that his office is 'not investigating this as a suspicious death.'

Police found the 38-year-old's body at his home in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, on Monday after a request for a welfare check at 1:15pm.
Adam had worked for his father with several NFL clubs, including the Bengals and Vikings. Most recently, he had been working remotely with the Bengals, but was not attendance for Monday's loss to the Cleveland Browns.
He rejoined the Bengals in July after eight years in Minnesota with his father. His coaching career began in 2006 as an assistant linebacking coach with the New Orleans Saints, who would go on to win Super Bowl XLIV.
