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.. |

I heard today that Seau was never on any injury report for any type of head injury during his career.
That being said, even if he had a head injury history............ If you tell these guys to play in the league and get paid millions they risk potential head injury type issues later in life. How many decide not to play? |

My grandma was a vegetable for 10 years because my grandpa was far too religious to ever "pull the cord". No, the end isn't always sudden; sometimes it comes years after it humanely should've.
Using that personal anecdote as a demonstration of the opposite end of the spectrum, I'd call suicide at 43, "sudden".

I've pretty much given up on arguing with anyone about the supposed "selfishness" of suicide, because I've come to believe that many people are simply incapable of empathic cognitive behavior and cannot understand mental illnesses.
If anything Junior Seau should be the posterboy for this line of thinking: he's tremendously successful, wealthy (I'm supposing), in great shape for his age, has children... and yet, he still kills himself. That is either the most selfish, hateful, shameful thing you can ever do, or a product of some major neurological trauma. He had all the reasons to live and the money to get the best help available, and still shoots himself in the chest. No, the truly selfish thing here is appealing to the "logical high ground" of how those people simply can't rationalize their importance in the lives of others. Bullshit.

Most of us live with the notion that if we just had ___ we'd be happy. What happens when you actually get ____ plus more and you are uncontrollably in pain and miserable? Obviously, Seau had some serious pain. Very sad.

I have suffered many concussions in my life, also being on the edge of committing suicide. I was lucky, someone saved my life. Once you get to that point you are no longer yourself... and you have lost control. My heart breaks for his children and his other family. Really a tragedy for a great guy from all accounts. R.I.P. Junior Seau.

Sad. I think after his brain is examined and studied this will be another case of CTE.

Hahahahaha - we'll soon have so many crutches for people in our society that nobody will need to take any personal responsibility at all. Kid is high energy - must be ADHD... He was raised without a father, give him a pass because he has 5 kids with 4 different mothers. He's depressed so he offed himself, it's okay because he was depressed though. I don't care what ailment you have. If the guy toting around 80 lbs of testicle to use as a chair at any moment hasn't put a bullet in his skull then there isn't an excuse large enough.
