Junior Seau Confirmed Dead

He did so much for the San Diego community.

Wonder if he was having mental breakdowns from all those hits over the course of his career? Didn't Dave Duerson commit suicide over this same thing?

I know he had depression issues. I don't know if they were related to concussions/brain damage.

He was 43. I'm 43. WOW, so sad.

Reported that it was a gunshot wound to the chest like Dave Duerson. Unconfirmed though.

I'm no expert on this, but it's my understanding self inflicted shots to the chest generally mean they want to preserve the brain. Probably for research

2nd NFL suicide in less than 2 weeks. Awful

Damn. Sad to think he did this so soon after he retired. I feel bad for his family.

Seems like it could be likely.

Shame.

Sad but not surprised after his driving off the cliff accident.
