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/ Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 05-02-2012 at 12:35 PM.. |

Regardless of how he did it, I'm sorry for YOU, and all the other people that were fans and family. It does suck. Still think he's a prick for doing it if indeed it was suicide

He was the one player from another AFC West team that I really liked and wanted to see do well.
Very sad. I'm blown away by this... |

Damn.
Lets enjoy football while it lasts. I'm starting to wonder if what we'll have in 10 years resembles what we've been watching the last 20. The "Roman Colosseum" analogies are getting closer and closer to home. These guys really are beating themselves to death out there. Think about that the next time Jamie Harrison takes a cheap shot and then starts roaring about how he's just a warrior when he gets suspended. If a shot like that ever puts someones lights out on the field, just go ahead and start the death clock for the NFL.

I find sucide hard to believe when you have kids, gradkids etc.. Really a selfish act, but I am not him so I can't speculate on the darkness he had in his life. Obviously there is some brain chemistry amiss or it was one to many concussions.

I still remember the Say-Ow stickers all the kids had back in elementary school. You weren't cool unless you had one on your binder.

I think a pun thread is preferable to yet another demonstration of CP's total lack of understanding w/r/t mental illness, depression, and suicide.

Junior Seau is the latest of several former NFL players to commit suicide -- and all the deaths might be linked ... through brain-related injuries sustained during the players' football careers.Most recently, 62-year-old former Atlanta Falcons player Ray Easterling (center) shot himself last month in his Virginia home. His wife claims the former safety developed symptoms of dementia after his football career.Easterling filed a federal lawsuit in Philly against the NFL in 2011 over its handling of concussion-related football injuries -- claiming the league intentionally concealed links between the injuries and the game.Dozens and dozens of similar concussion-related lawsuits have also been filed against the league.50-year-old former Chicago Bears player Dave Duerson (right) was found dead in his Florida home last year from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.* Before his death, he texted his family asking for his brain to be used for research (hence why he shot himself in the chest). Months later, researcher neurologists at Boston University confirmed Duerson had suffered from a neurodegenerative disease linked to concussions.It's possible Junior Seau shot himself in the chest for the same reason.Terrell Owens had TWO near-death encounters involving pills -- most recently on October 6th, when his assistant called 911 claiming the NFL star had OD'd. T.O. nearly died back in 2006 too, after downing 36 Vicodins.As we reported, Junior Seau drove his truck off a California cliff back in 2010 following a domestic violence arrest. It's unclear if it was a suicide attempt.
