The drowning death of Buffalo Bills star Ed Oliver’s two-year-old son has now been ruled an accident.

According to TMZ, the investigation has now closed and there are no criminal charges expected to be filed against Oliver or anyone else.

Oliver’s son, also named Ed, drowned in a swimming pool located at the star’s Texas home on June 28.

Authorities responded to a life-in-danger call after the child’s parents discovered him in the pool, unresponsive.

The toddler was rushed to a local hospital and was pronounced dead.

While the tragedy happened months ago, news of the drowning wasn’t released until this past weekend. 

The death of Ed Oliver’s two-year-old son has been ruled by authorities as an accident

Bills general manager Brandon Beane released a statement on Saturday which read: ‘On behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization, we want to publicly express our condolences to Ed Oliver and his family on the devastating loss of his son.

‘It is an unthinkable tragedy for any parent. We will continue to support Ed and his family as we all grieve this tragic loss.’

According to ESPN, the Bills have been aware of the tragedy since it occurred and Oliver has been involved in training camp ahead of the 2026 season. He also featured in the Bills’ preseason win over Carolina last weekend. The 28-year-old is said to have asked for ‘privacy and prayers at this very difficult time.’

The defensive tackle has been with Buffalo since the 2019 NFL draft, when he was selected by the Bills with the ninth overall pick. 

He grew up in Houston and opted to play football for his hometown school, snubbing offers from the likes of Alabama, LSU and Oklahoma. 

The Bills played in Cleveland over the weekend and easily handled the Browns. 

But Oliver was not with the rest of Joe Brady’s team as he continues to deal with a minor injury, ESPN and NFL Network reported.
