Junior Seau commits suicide

[AntiMoon]

Sad but not surprising. Drove car off a cliff in 2010 and denied it was a suicide attempt. Said he fell asleep at the wheel.

Seau is the eighth member of the Chargers 1994 Super Bowl team to pass.

Holy crap.

Hopefully his brain will be donated to the institute that studies the brains of dead football player's to see what condition Seau was in.

What a shame. And only 43.

If he shot himself in the head i don't think his brain will do them much good

he shot himself in the chest so they should be able to use his brain if he donated it

Oh i didn't realize that. Doesn't that kind of raise an eyebrow about maybe there being foul play involved. Because i can't imagine why you would ever shoot yourself in the chest if you were trying to end it all, because you have a decent chance of surviving that

It doesn't say where he shot himself, I guess it's not been released yet.

"If Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest, it is similar to the way former Chicago Bears great Dave Duerson ended his life. Duerson shot himself in the chest on February 17 -- the method used so that his brain could be examined for symptoms of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a trauma-induced disease common to NFL players and others who have received repeated blows to the head."

What could possibly that bad in his life ? If it was a relationship that would logical but not worth ending your life. Hell of a bad legacy to leave behind. Junior.

When he played he played the game right.

Very very sad. RIP.

The Orioles released a statement saying they should not be blamed at all for this suicide.

Too soon??

Anybody else notice this:

The ex-linebacker's girlfriend found the NFL legend with a fatal shotgun wound to the chest.

Reports indicate that a handgun was found by Seau's side.

Allot of them have left this earth from that team. Not a good look.

Damn maybe he did what Duerson did so his brain could be preserved.

[Rob]

So was it a shotgun wound or a handgun wound? Conflicting there.

[AntiMoon]

Considering how incompetent our media is, you will hear about 10 conflicting reports between now and Fri

Good point.

To the MLB who made many a QB say ow. May you finally RIP Jr. Seau

That's exactly what he did. Left a note saying he wanted his brain studied.

I was thinking the same thing when I heard the news. Helps the lawsuit vs. the NFL.
