What more can you say, possible suicide.

Reading an article about him and a few things jumped out at me, Number one, He is the eighth member of the '94 Chargers who has died. The others are Chris Mims (who died in 2008 of an enlarged heart), David Griggs (car accident in 1995), Rodney Culver (plane crash in 1996), Lewis Bush (heart attack in 2011), Curtis Whitley (drug overdose in 2008), Shawn Lee (cardiac arrest brought on by double pneumonia in 2011) and Doug Miller (struck by lightning in 1998)., number two he NEVER won a Super Bowl Ring and three he was divorced....
geesh...... I guess it's true money can't buy happiness .

4th NFL suicide in the past year. Apparently Duerson left a note saying to examine his brain, shot himself in the chest so brain would be intact. Seau shot himself in the chest too.

NFL better get a handle on this brain injury thing. Players are coming out of there way too messed up.

The NFL has new helmets that are supposed to protect better and also has new rules that are supposed to also protect the players as well as strict rules as to what you can ingest or inject into your body to enhance your performance and I think the latter is as much of the problem as the hits . No way Seau played in the NFL all those years naturally and was able to compete or even try and compete with ATHLETES half his age without constantly being on something and IMO it is this "SOMETHING " that affects the brain later on or when you get off it.
