It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I had never heard of this.....do you have any links to other players having committed suicide by shooting themselves in the chest (heart) so that their brains could be evaluated for damages by multiple concussions? I am not challenging anything here....just a curiousity to something that I was not aware of. I was thinking someone else shot him because it seems odd that he would shoot himself in the chest....thanks
Jeez, if you're a member of the 94 Chargers, look out.
2 Heart Attacks, enlarged heart, drug overdose, lightning strike (WHAT?), plane crash, car crash, suicide.
NFL.com news: Seau the latest chapter in sad legacy of 1994 Chargers
He came out of retirement THREE times to help Bill Belichick: 2006, 2008, and 2009.
It gets freakier. After beating the Steelers in the Championship game. The Charger QB coach's ex-wife (who lived in the Pittsburg area) called a friend and said "I should be going to <SB City> not her" referring to QB coachs's GF.
Ex-wife kills herself that night. After she is cremated, the son and daughter take her remains and plan to scatter them into the Pacific ocean in northern California. A wave knocks both of them off the rocks where they were standing and the daughter is killed. The son is found disorientated, wandering along the beach naked after the violent waves ripped his clothes off throwing him back and forth the rocks.
RIP, very sad news. Not sure what to think, except that I hope that this serves as a powerful reminder that we're only just starting to understand the effect that head trauma has on NFL players, and stuff like this happens far, far too often.
suicides gives me the creeps.
Unless you walked his path and felt his pain then you wouldn't know what he was going through.This is really tough to hear.
But I can't feel sorry for him. Suicide is never the best path to follow.
I can't imagine what his family must be feeling right now. My condolences.

The fact Seau chose to shoot himself in the chest seems like a premeditated decision -- considering several NFL players have recently killed themselves in a similar fashion in order to preserve their brains for research purposes ... in the wake of new studies which appear to connect football-related concussions to suicidal behavior.
