Yeah, saw that.

What was interesting was that (assuming this is) his and another recent suicide was to the chest to protect the prain so that it could be studied for traumatic effects.

Like there is an inherent fear of degradation due to sport.

Very sad.
 
Pretty sad. One of my favorite players as a kid growing up. It's sad to see famous people who kill themselves. I guess when you see the whole world, what else do you have to live for. Makes me appreciate what I have.
 
Three kids... No sympathy here. You can't check out because your life is 'hard' when you have people (especially kids) who depend on you.

Divorced 3 kids..on his way to going broke. What else is new.
 
I have seen first hand how a suicide can hurt a family. I am sorry for them but feel he is a coward for not dealing with whatever issue he had that he thought was worth dying over.

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.



Just like boxers.

What if he died of cancer?

He had money, and now his kids have money.

If he killed himself because of the intense pain from being repeatedly hit, than I can see why he did it. I know a few people with extreme pain from cancer that checked out with a gunshot. Medicine doesn't help.

If he killed himself because he was a Narcissist and was no longer in the spotlight, than it was better for everyone even his kids.

I have no idea but he was at a Lenny Kraviz&Pink concert in San Diego was nice, cordial, respectful and talked to everyone that wanted to talk to him and was very respectful. He did not come off as a Diva when I saw him and like I said he was nice, cordial, and respectful from my experience. No doubt he was not a Saint and I would not make him out to be one. But we do not know his situation and I will not speculate on his death until more is made public but if he had a mental illness we do not know what he was thinking and will never know, stuff like this does crazy stuff to a person. Now my thoughts and prayers are for his family&friends it seems each and everyone was really hurt for what he done and that speaks volumes of what people close to him thought of him. At least if he was going to do something this erratic he only killed himself not killing his family which just happened around here.
 
We actually saw him with his family on our Hawaii vacation. We took some photos and videos. He was staying at the same hotel.

Nevermind. I found it. He is (was) Senior Seau's kid.
