一名了解事件内情的消息人士向美联社透露，6月28日，得克萨斯州哈里斯县一名幼童被发现倒在住宅泳池中失去意识，经抢救无效宣布死亡。由于球队和球员尚未公开相关信息，这位消息人士要求匿名。
哈里斯县警长办公室当晚在其Facebook账号上发布了一则通告，未透露具体姓名或年龄，仅提及休斯顿北部一处社区内发生幼童溺水事件。
“这是一起悲剧性事件，我们向幼童的家人在这段极其艰难的时刻致以慰问。调查仍在进行中，”通告写道。
一名警长办公室官员周六向美联社表示，目前尚未能提供相关报告。
现年28岁的奥利弗即将开启他在布法罗的第八个赛季，他在2019年NFL选秀首轮被比尔队选中，此前就读于休斯顿大学。
奥利弗上月按时报到参加训练营，并在上周末比尔队赛季首场季前赛29-14战胜卡罗莱纳队的比赛中首发出战。但他本周因不明伤势未参与训练，也未随队前往克利夫兰参加季前赛。

Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver is mourning the death of his 2-year-old son, the team’s general manager said on Saturday, expressing his and the organization’s condolences.
“On behalf of the entire Buffalo Bills organization, we want to publicly express our condolences to Ed Oliver and his family on the devastating loss of his son,” Bills general manager Brandon Beane said in a statement. “It’s an unthinkable tragedy for any parent. We will continue to support Ed and his family as we all grieve this tragic loss.”
Oliver has asked for privacy and prayers while still mourning his son, who was also named Ed, ESPN reported.

The toddler was pronounced dead after being found unresponsive in a residential pool in Harris County, Texas, on June 28, a person briefed on what happened told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the team and player have not revealed that information.
Without providing many details, including names or ages, the Harris County Sheriff’s Department posted a note on its Facebook account that evening regarding the drowning of a toddler in a neighborhood community north of Houston.
“This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with the toddler’s family during this incredibly difficult time. The investigation is ongoing,” the post read.
A sheriff’s official told The Associated Press on Saturday that a report was not immediately available.
The 28-year-old Oliver is entering his eighth season in Buffalo and was selected by the Bills in the first round of the 2019 draft out of Houston.
Oliver reported for training camp on time last month and appeared with the starters in the Bills’ preseason-opening 29-14 win over Carolina last weekend. He has not practiced this week because of an undisclosed injury and was not in Cleveland for a preseason game.
