Former NFL safety Sergio Brown, who was recently declared missing by authorities, made an appearance on social media Monday, September 18. People magazine reported that the video was uploaded on Instagram under the account “intplayerwithapassport.” It was two days after police discovered the body of Brown’s mother, Myrtle Brown, 73, in Maywood, Illinois.
Cook County Medical Office Spokesperson Natalia Derevyanny told People that Myrtle Brown's death was a result of “multiple injuries due to assault.” Sergio began the video by saying “fake news” repeatedly. He didn't explicitly refer to his mother in the video, but he did mention that the FBI had paid him an “unwarranted” visit on “Bob Marley’s Death Day.”
The 35-year-old athlete also claimed that the Maywood Police Department “kidnapped” him twice and said that he thought his mother was “on vacation.” He added that “it had to be the FBI or Maywood PD,” without clarifying who the “it” he referred to is. Myrtle Brown was pronounced dead Saturday, however, the Maywood Police Department has not commented on the situation.
People was unable to verify the owner of the Instagram account that the Sergio Brown video was posted on, but photos on the account date back to 2021 and contain pictures of the former NFL safety.
Meanwhile, Nick Brown, Sergio's brother, posted photos of his brother and mother on Facebook on September 16. “I’m going to keep on pushing and won’t let you down,” he wrote in the caption. He posted this less than a day after Sergio posted his Instagram video.
Brown attended Notre Dame for college and played seven seasons in the NFL for the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Buffalo Bills. He played 94 games in the NFL, starting 15, collecting 109 tackles and one interception. This story is a reminder that even the most accomplished athletes have to face difficult times in their lives.
