49ers pass rusher and Hall of Famer Fred Dean dies at 68
Fred Dean, the Hall of Fame defensive end for the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers, has died at age 68. The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Dean’s passing on Thursday morning.
No official cause of death has been announced, but his former 49ers teammate Dwight Hicks posted on Facebook last week that Dean had been admitted to the hospital and was on a ventilator due to the coronavirus.
“I just learned that my 49er teammate Fred Dean was taken to the hospital and is on a ventilator in intensive care,” Hicks wrote, “I’m sending healing light to Fred, his wife Pam, and his family. I trust you all are taken [sic] this virus seriously. Be well and stay safe.”
