Apparently from self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Reported by KCTV5 news - don't know how to post links...

But it should probably be in the non-Chiefs section. Hate the Dolts and Cheatriots, but I really liked Seau.

I am shocked. First Chicago Bear Dave Duerson, then just last month Atlanta Falcon Ray Easerling, and now Junior have all committed suicide. Repeated concussions bring on severe depression and dementia. I don't know how many concussions Seau had in his career, but i would guess he shot himself in the chest instead of the head, so his brain could be examined.

In 2010 Seau drove his SUV off of a 30 foot cliff after being arrested for domestic violence. He said he fell asleep at the wheel. I wonder now ...

The after effects of multiple concussions are a serious issue in the NFL right now. I don't think more rule changes are the answer. I wonder if it is possible to design a better helmet?

The 8th player from the Chargers super bowl team dead before the age of 45.

Dude was a beast. I remember sitting at the very top of Arrowhead in a thunderstorm sometime back in the 90s and being amazed at how big that guy was even from way the hell up there. He was a fun player to watch. RIP Junior.

They really need to look more into the mental health of football players. The stories I saw mentioned he had injured himself prior. It is a shame to see people end their life in such a way.
