Team Harteis News - A medical examiner's preliminary report Friday confirmed that the 18-year-old son of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy took his own life, although the cause of death will not be determined for four to six weeks.

Dr. Jacqueline Lee released the findings and said there was no evidence of foul play. Lee ordered a toxicology study, and until it is finished the cause and manner of James Dungy's death are listed as pending.

Dungy's girlfriend found him unresponsive at about 1:30 a.m. Thursday, Hillsborough (Fla.) County Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said. Carter said evidence at the scene indicated James Dungy had killed himself.

A sheriff's deputy performed CPR before an ambulance took him to University Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to police records obtained by the Indianapolis Star, a Florida hospital treated James Dungy for a drug overdose on Oct. 21. Dungy said he was depressed when he took about 14 prescription painkillers, according to a Hillsborough County sheriff's report. No other information about the incident was immediately available, according to the Star.
