The Ravens announced the news after speaking with Walker’s godmother. Walker’s agent, Ron Butler, also confirmed his client’s death to ESPN.

The accident occurred at about 7:50 p.m. on Thursday, and police said Walker’s bike did not have headlights and that he was wearing dark clothing. The intersection where the accident took place is a two-way stop. Walker was not wearing a helmet, Butler said. Police said the driver of the Ford Escape stayed on the scene and was cooperating with detectives. Walker was believed to be riding a dirt bike recreationally with another NFL player, said Butler, who does not know the name of that player. Walker was treated at the Ryder Trauma Center in Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital. Butler said earlier Friday that his client was “fighting for his life.” Unfortunately, Tray lost that battle. Truly sad turn of events for this young man who was reportedly very happy to have fulfilled his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL. Instagram / Baltimore Ravens

It’s been four months since Jared Fogle was sentenced to 15 years in prison for possession of child pornography and soliciting sex from a minor, but the shocking details about the disgraced Subway spokesman and his crimes are still emerging on a daily basis. Yesterday, we learned that in an ironic twist of fate, the man who became famous for slimming down on a diet of $5 foot-longs has been packing on the pounds in prison – a possible result of the frequent harassment he endures from fellow inmates. Today, Radar Online published excerpts from Fogle’s court hearing transcripts that contain a number of shocking text messages that Fogle sent in his efforts to locate underage prostitutes. Be warned that the content of the messages is profoundly disturbing. The following quotes are all taken from texts sent by Fogle to two adult prostitutes who allegedly connected him with teenagers who would be willing to exchange sexual favors for cash: “I’m horny again. Is your Asian friend available? I can pay you a little finder’s free. I’ll pay you big for a 14 or 15-year-old.” “Did you find me some young girls or boys? If they can prove their age….and you get me 16 or below, I’ll give you $400 at least.” “I love big t–s, but I realize if they are younger that’s hard to find.” “Do you have access to any young girls? Like 15 or 16? It’s what I crave! I would hook you up nicely if you did.” “Any luck finding me a young girl too? I will really…make it worth your while if you can. Girl or guy actually would be fine. The younger the better! LOL!” Obviously, it’s not hard to see why Fogle pled guilty and didn’t even attempt to avoid a prison sentence. Currently, Fogle is appealing his sentence , hoping to be released in 12 years, instead of 15. View Slideshow: 13 Shamed Celebrity Spokespeople
There’s TMI, and then there’s WAY TMI. Khloe Kardashian may have crossed into the latter during an interview with Nylon magazine, in which she opens up about a personal problem that follows her everywhere. Her camel toe. And it even has a name. “I have a camel toe problem—Kamille,” she said. “Kamille with a K.” Naturally. While certainly a part of her, Khloe confessed that her sister Kourtney was none too fond of Kamille. “So she bought me these things, they’re almost like a maxi pad,” said Khloe. “I don’t know what they’re really called, but it’s to hide your camel toe.” Evidently, Kamille did not take kindly to the notion of being obscured, so she tried to give the foreign object the boot during a trampoline workout. “It was like falling out of my pants, and it was like slipping,” confessed Khloe. “I was so uncomfortable.” How did she deal with it? “I had to remove it. I just said, ‘Kamille’s here. She’s at the class too. Get over it.'” Sorry, Kourtney. Kamille won this round. Lucky for both sisters, Khloe claims that Kamille has been rearing her ugly head less and less since she’s slimmed down. “Now that I’ve lost weight, I swear my puss has lost weight too, which I did not know was an option but thank god,” she said. “So she doesn’t care to be seen much these days but at the time she was a problem.” Hear that, ladies? So if you have a little camel toe problem, it could be due to overweight vulva. The Kocktails with Khloe host has been making a number of confessions lately. She recently admitted that she hopes to rekindle her marriage to Lamar Odom , and also revealed that her ex-bf James Harden cheated on her . We have no idea how either men felt about Kamille, but it looks as though Khloe’s gym body is here to stay, which means Kamille will remain in hibernation.

Joey Feek, the country and gospel singer whose brave battle with cancer made headlines over the past several months, died on Friday while surrounded by friends and family members. She was 40 years old. Husband Rory Feek, who comprised one half of music duo with his wife and who chronicled her journey on his blog, confirmed the news via a post titled “A Dream Come True.” “My wife’s greatest dream came true today. She is in Heaven,” Rory wrote. Joey was diagnosed with cervical cancer in May 2014, just four months after giving birth to her daughter, Indiana. “The cancer is gone, the pain has ceased and all her tears are dry,” Rory wrote this afternoon. “Joey is in the arms of her beloved brother Justin and using her pretty voice to sing for her savior. At 2:30 this afternoon, as we were gathered around her, holding hands and praying.. my precious bride breathed her last.” Rory spent the final few weeks of his wife’s life keeping fans apprised of her progress, often sharing photos of Joey and their daughter. He had told blog followers earlier in the week that he didn’t think Joey had much time left. “A few more days,” he wrote at the time of how long he presumed Joey would still be with us, adding: “In the 40 short years that Joey has lived, my bride has accomplished many great things… she’s lived a very full life. “But even more than that, she has loved those around her greatly and been loved greatly in return. I can honestly say that Joey’s isn’t just a life well-lived, it’s a life well-loved.” Joey and Rory were married in 2002 and their group, Joey + Rory, was nominated for a Grammy earlier this year. “I pray that one morning I just don’t wake up,” she said in her final interview with The Tennessean. “But I don’t fear anything because I’m so close to God and we’ve talked about it so many times. I know he’s close. And I know he loves me. I’m really at peace.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Lee Reherman – the actor and athlete best known for his work as Hawk on American Gladiators – has passed away at the age of 49. A rep for Reherman says his girlfriend discovered his body inside his Manhattan Beach, California this morning. No cause of death has been determined, but Reherman had reportedly been complaining that he was not feeling well in the days leading up to his death. A former football standout at Cornell University, Reherman attended the Miami Dolphins training camp after graduation, in hopes of earning a spot on the team’s offensive line. He didn’t make the cut, but he did continue his education, eventually earning his MBA from UCLA. He was working on a PhD when Hollywood came calling. Though most famous for the impressive athletic feats he performed on Gladiators each week, Reherman also racked dozens of acting credits over the course of his career. In addition to his work in hit films and television shows like Columbo , Last Action Hero , The X Files , NCIS , and Jane The Virgin, Reherman also lent his voice to a number of popular video games, including Dead Rising 3 and the Ghost Recon series.
