He was 41 years old.
Colts owner Jim Irsay revealed Ulrich’s death over social media.
Irsay’s post reads, “I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of Matt Ulrich.” “Matt was with us for only two seasons, but he left an impression on many. He was a fantastic guy, and I understand he was a wonderful father. He also won the Super Bowl. My prayers are with his family.”
