Ex-NFL player Junior Seau was found dead in his California home this morning by his girlfriend.Reports are that a single gunshot to the chest was the cause of death.Suicide is the unofficial cause of death until further investigation.
The USC Trojan played his NFL career with several different teams including San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots.
The NFL is a very dangerous contact sport because of impacts on collisions.Even though over the last couple of season the NFL has tried to put together rules for players taking shots to the head and suffering serious concussions, there still raise the question about players that have been in the league for a decade or more.Could repeated blows to the head during an NFL career play a major factor in the suicides in contact sports.
Ex Chicago Bears Dave Duerson committed suicide not long ago with a self inflicted gunshot wound and now Junior Seau.Could it be that these are 2 isolated incidents by 2 ex-football players?
Our prayers goes out to the family of #55 Junior Seau.
