Yeah its probably fair to speculate that Seau has developed brain damage, and perhaps even CTE, from his profession and sport. But I dont think theres any proof CTE causes depression, its just a correlation. Id like to see the correlation between those who develop depression after losing unimaginable success, fame, and lifestyles. Or someone who loses an elite ability in general. I believe cricket players are supposed to have the highest rate of suicide in pro sports. Maybe thats part cultural or maybe those who experience the reverse of rags to riches coupled with a loss of importance are at a higher likelihood of developing depression once their new found role of triviality sets in. Junior Seau was a amazing player and is one of my favorite non-Redskins. Unfortunately it sounds like he had some very serious depression. Perhaps his early loss could have been prevented but it may have been inevitable.

Re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
CNN is saying it is a shoot to the chest.
If it is self inflicted that is rough way of doing it.

I believe other athletes have killed themselves in the same manner so that there brain can be studied post mortem. Perhaps that was Seau's intent?

Re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
He really must've had some serious issues to make two attempts on his life. Feel real sorry for his kids. I believe one plays football in HS.

Re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
Sad. I wish more people would talk about suicide like they do in the military. We get briefs on this almost monthly. It's a real problem in America. Suicide is a permanant solution, to a temporary problem.
