Suicide, I believe....

a friend of mine in San Diego has said that is what is being communicated. that guy always had a smile on his face. DAMN!

Shot himself in the chest like Duerson so his brain could be examined for signs of CTE. That's what I've read so far. Sad, sad, sad. :(

In a side story I read that he is the 8th player from the '94 Chargers team to die young. It did not go into details on how the others died. Just the same that is kind of spooky.

I would guess that there is probably more involved that just head trauma, I would be curious to see what his financial situation was.

Curious to see the percentage of suicide percentage of former nfl players compared to the national average.

CBS sports article

Three had heart problems, one OD'ed. The others were accidents (a plane crash, a guy hit by lightning and a car crash)

Concussions...what is going to finally kill the Golden Goose (NFL)

a lot of that has been due to poor ownership of the franchises there.

i wonder if concussions/brain-damage was the cause from his 20-yrs. of throwing his body around in the NFL,.....?

One of my all-time favorites. Junior, I hope your soul finds some peace in the afterlife.
