Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay died Wednesday. He had led the team since 1997. Irsay was 65.
Carlie Irsay-Gordon, his eldest daughter, is seen as the most involved in team operations and took her father’s place during his NFL suspension in 2014 after his DWI arrest.

Irsay was hospitalized after first responders found him unresponsive in his bedroom in December 2023, with police characterizing the incident in a report as a suspected overdose. The next month, after Irsay was not seen publicly for multiple weeks, the Colts said in a statement that he was being treated for a “severe respiratory illness.”
Irsay had made a few public appearances in the year since those incidents, but he had not been seen much lately.
