Tom Dempsey, a journeyman NFL kicker who despite missing the toes on his right foot set a field goal record that stood for quite four decades, has died of coronavirus, consistent with reports.

 owner of the New Orleans Saints, where Dempsey began his career.

The 73-year-old, who suffered from dementia, died from complications with COVID-19 on Saturday at Lambeth House Retirement Community in New Orleans, his family told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate.
CNN has previously reported state officials were monitoring the power after discovering a "cluster" of cases at the retirement home, where numerous residents have died.

Following an Annunciation diagnosis, Dempsey initially fought the virus "promisingly," but his condition worsened within the last week, daughter Ashley told the newspapers that form nola.com.
Because Lambeth House residents were quarantined, his family wasn't ready to visit with him before he passed, but Ashley Dempsey was ready to speak to him via video chat, she told the news outlet.

On November 8, 1970, Dempsey's basement-dwelling Saints were losing 17-16 to the playoff-bound Detroit Lions reception in Tulane Stadium. With only seconds left, safety Joe Scarpati took the snap and Dempsey booted a 63-yarder, shattering Bert Rechichar's record of 56 yards, which had stood for 17 years.

In 2013, quite 43 years after Dempsey's historic kick, Matt Prater, who played for -- you guessed it, the Denver Broncos -- broke the record with a 64-yarder. The record still stands.

In a tweet, Gano said he'd always wanted to win a game in record fashion as Dempsey had done, which one among the "coolest gifts" he'd ever received was a kicking tee signed by Dempsey.
"Honored to be ready to put the ball from yesterday's kick onto the tee that he signed," Gano tweeted, including a photograph of the ball resting atop the orange tee.
