This is awful. RIP.

No cause of death reported yet, an important detail especially in this sport and with someone so young.

Awful. RIP.

Thats horrific. I saw that play happen but really didn't know who he was. Still, 24, it's ridiculous. Such a sad day for him and his family.

Awful. You never know what someone is going through.

No one should ever forget that these are actually real people playing the sports we watch. Always remember that there's so much more to them then how they play, just like there's more to all of us than our jobs. Passion and criticism are a part of sports fandom but we should always try to also be decent humans in how we talk about guys, because we don't know what they're going through in life.

That series of events is painting an ugly picture.

I can only hope there was no other death involved.

Someone apparently called the police saying that he had expressed suicidal ideations.

I feel bad for people that take their own life because there's something that is bothering them so much they feel like they can't escape from. No matter what face people give you, you never know what they are going through behind closed doors.

Shot himself following a police chase.

 

[BadMoFo]

Scored a TD on Monday night and killed himself two days later. So sad.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Shot himself following a police chase.

FWIW, recent reporting suggests that he had expressed suicidal ideations before the police chase.

 

[Family]

FWIW, recent reporting suggests that he had expressed suicidal ideations before the police chase.

I'm interested in the source of these reports.
