Junior Seau dead, probable suicide
North County Times reporting Seau "found dead by a housekeeper of a gunshot wound to the chest."
https://twitter.com/#!/LATimesfarmer...55054793560065 Junior Seau Dead Cops Investigating Shooting Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife. Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years. Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel. http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/ |

A crowd that includes several Oceanside police officers has formed outside the house. No further details were immediately available. |
Brain damage.
|
Sources indicate Seau never recovered from Philip Rivers' fumbled snap last fall.

That's sad.
God bless his family and friends. |
What a bummer. Dude was a San Diego Icon. He's from my hometown (which he died in apparently) and my dad played HS ball with him.
This kinda sucks. |
Typical Seau.... always having a blast
|
I guess he won't have to worry about going broke
|
I was listening to Rush Limbaugh on 95.7 here in SD, and it was interrupted with the Junior Seau news. They haven't said anything about a suicide yet. All they're saying is that there was a gunshot, and that rumors are that he's dead.
|
Damn.
|
Wow
|
Terrible news.
|
Ok, now the radio station is saying a probable suicide. Its sad if its true.
|
Evidence thought to be the result of buckshot turned out to be Norv Turner's neck.
|
Wow. I figured he'd be one to have enough star power to survive after football. I guess not. One of our long time opponents that I respected a lot. RIP

I hate to hear that. I wish people would keep perspective and realize life is worth living.

I'm not making jokes about this either.
He was a pretty damn good player for a long time and even though he was an eggo, I always respected his game. It's too bad his personal life was obviously not as successful. |

According to 810, this would make him the EIGHTH member of their 94 Super Bowl team to have died...
|
Well...Bye.

The 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker, aged 43, played for the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots from 1990-2009. |
I guess life was treating him pretty ruff.
...shit, wrong thread. |

I wonder if, to SD fans, this is like DT's death was to Chiefs fans? That was a blow, so I feel for them if so. |
Damn. Dude was a monster in his prime.
|
People that commit suicide always piss me off. So freakin selfish. I feel for his kids and other family members left behind. I always hated but respected him when he was a charger. Having said that, I guess this is the last time he'll be droppin the BOOM on someone

by Dan McLellan, CBSSports.com Former Chargers LB Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, Calif., on Wednesday, according to a North County Times source. The death appears to be gun related. |
At least he went out with a bang?

I like these pun threads for some reason, then feel guilty afterwards.
|
Nothing cool about this, even if he did play for a divisional rival. Still seems like many details are unknown.
|
Guess he must have put too much emphasis in his identity in being a football player. Probably not the first time he tried to off himself, as he drove off a cliff in 2010 but claimed he fell asleep behind the wheel. What kind of curse is there in the '94 Chargers?

**** this and **** all of you for making jokes.
How funny would it have been to have a pun thread when DT died? It wouldn't have been. |
Sad. Hell of a player.
One of the more iconic jerseys of the 90s. http://www.fans911.com/pic/201111291690542-28388.jpg |

I'd be hesitant to make fun if the guy died tragically in a fire or car accident or something. But, he offed himself. What a prick. Sorry, but I've just never thought that I should feel sympathy for someone that takes the greatest gift of all and throws it away, ruining it for countless others at the same time.

DTs death was hard to take and I would never wish that on any athlete, but John Elway, a hasty death. Seau sure was fun to watch. Great intensity. All the best, Buck. |
Gunshot to the chest. Which means he preserved his brain, allowing it to be studied.

DT got and gets trashed on opposing fans boards...not that it matters
i wouldn't waste time feeling self-righteous because of quite common message board behavior when you could spend that time remembering a player you cared about... |
This blows my mind
|
RIP Jr. was a great player. Sad end.
