Okay, so I saw this question popping up all over the internet: “Is Cedric Ricks still alive?” It got me curious, so I decided to do some digging myself. Here’s how it went down.
My Little Investigation
First, I fired up my trusty search engine. Just typed in “Cedric Ricks” to see what would come up. I got a bunch of results, but nothing that really answered the question directly. Lots of stuff about a football player, but it wasn’t clear if it was the Cedric Ricks or if there were multiple people with that name.
So, I narrowed down my search. I added terms like “obituary,” “death notice,” and even just “alive” to the search query. Still, mostly the same results. Lots about football, some social media profiles that might or might not be him, and a few forum posts asking the same question I was.
I then spent a good chunk of time sifting through those search results. I checked the dates on articles and posts, trying to piece together a timeline. I looked at the social media profiles to see if there was any recent activity. It was like trying to put together a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
I dug deeper, trying different combinations of search terms. I even checked some genealogy websites, just in case. Honestly, it felt like I was going down a rabbit hole.
After all is and done, I still can’t confirm anything.
