Not long after, a statement was released by Mike Brown:
Our organization has had the privilege of knowing and working with the Zimmer family for 15 years. We have the highest regard for Mike and Adam, and we are incredibly saddened by this tragic news. Mike and Adam were more than just coaches for us–they were friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Zimmer family at this time.

Adam Zimmer was currently serving as a remote offensive analyst with the Bengals. He also spent the 2013 season with the Bengals as an assistant DB’s coach, while his father Mike was the team’s defensive coordinator.
In addition to the Bengals, he spent time with the Saints and Chiefs, as well as with the Vikings. He coached in various capacities with the Vikings for 8 seasons, alongside his father, who was the head coach during the same timeframe.
Thoughts and prayers to Adam and the Zimmer family.
