Wow, this is pretty bizarre...

Pro Football Weekly ‏ @ProFootballWkly
RT @SI_LeeJenkins: Seau is the eighth member of the Chargers '94 Super Bowl team to pass

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

WOW, don't like to hear these sort of things.

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

How sad for his kids! He was one of the all time the best S.D. Chargers ever. RIP

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

Wonder if he was having mental breakdowns from all those hits over the course of his career? Didn't Dave Duerson commit suicide over this same thing?

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

He did so much for the San Diego community.

I know he had depression issues. I don't know if they were related to concussions/brain damage.

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

He was 43. I'm 43. WOW, so sad.

Reported that it was a gunshot wound to the chest like Dave Duerson. Unconfirmed though.

I'm no expert on this, but it's my understanding self inflicted shots to the chest generally mean they want to preserve the brain. Probably for research

2nd NFL suicide in less than 2 weeks. Awful

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

Damn. Sad to think he did this so soon after he retired. I feel bad for his family.

Seems like it could be likely.

Shame.

re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
 

Sad but not surprised after his driving off the cliff accident.
