Jake Ehlinger Real Cause of Death: Internet Begs Privacy For Texas LB, Family After Funeral

Jake Ehlinger received so much love from his friends and supporters, and everyone wants nothing but privacy for him and his family.

On Wednesday, people gathered at Riverbend Church Home for Home in Austin to celebrate Ehlinger's life.

According to KXAN, the family opened the funeral service to the public. However, they strictly observed no cameras policy to respect their privacy. This is also the reason why there was no live stream of the funeral.

Despite the announcement, some people seemingly tried to invade the Ehlinger family's privacy in pursuit of finding out the real cause of his death.

However, internet users begged for everyone's understanding and asked other people not to be persistent anymore.
