Article up on Yahoo.

Found this paragraph interesting and disturbing at the same time:

Quote
If Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest, it is similar to the way former Chicago Bears great Dave Duerson ended his life. Duerson shot himself in the chest on February 17, 2011 -- the method used so that his brain could be examined for symptoms of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a trauma-induced disease common to NFL players and others who have received repeated blows to the head.

May Jesus wrap his arms of love around the Seau family. We send our sympathies, not for football but for the love he showed his family and friends. God Bless you all! RTR!

They were talking on the radio today about how he had fought depression for years. A very sad way to end.  :(

I think it was last year or the year before that he had a reality show series of him playing other sports. I'll never forget the show where he was a clown on the Professional Bull Riders and the bull actually ran him over but he didn't get hurt. He was an amazing athlete and wasn't afraid of much. :clap:

RIP JS and may God's blessings be with his family and friends.  :pray:
