Toya Wright Breaks Her Silence on the Death of Her Ex James Hardy

The former NFL player, 31, was found dead in Indiana.

Toya Wright suffered yet another devastating loss this week when her ex-boyfriend, former NFL player James Hardy III, was found dead in Indiana. The young man, whose remains were discovered floating in a river after he had been reported missing by his family weeks ago, was only 31.
Just a few months ago, Toya lost both her brothers to gun violence and shortly thereafter her godmother passed away as well. So it's been a tough year for the Southern belle. Now, Toya has broken her silence about the latest tragedy, sharing her feelings on social media.

Toya shared a photo of Hardy, who she dated briefly in 2009, on Instagram, with a caption that put the focus on his grieving family:

So sad.
