The exact cause of Marquay The Goat’s death remains under investigation, but new details point to a car accident two weeks earlier. Authorities report that emergency crews found Collins unresponsive after a call for breathing difficulties. He was declared dead shortly thereafter. 

The local county coroner has confirmed the death is being treated as “undetermined.” According to recent disclosures:

• Collins reportedly had experienced head and neck pain in the days prior. 
• He was involved in a car accident on November 7, 2025 in Atlanta. Though he was released from hospital that same day, he later complained of persistent pain in his head, neck, shoulders and spine as well as shortness of breath. 
• Investigators have not ruled out a connection between the accident and his death. The body is to be examined by the state’s investigative bureau for a full autopsy. 

At this stage, no official cause of death has been publicly confirmed. Friends, family and fans have been asked to wait for the results of the investigation before drawing conclusions.
