I love the topic title. It's straight and to the point. Junior Seau. Dead.

That's extremely sad news though. Jr was a great player.

EDIT: Got years mixed up.

[coltsfanmilyman]

thats what I said, never was a big fan but he was a good player.

That's extremely sad news though. Jr was a great player. Even if he did stop us from SBs.

Sorry there's no easy way to announce death so I took the old rip the band-aid off tactic?

[coltsfanmilyman]

Seeing on Twitter it was suicide? really?

[CR91]

just wow. unbelievable

No, no, nothing wrong with it. There isn't an easy way to announce it. Just how I read it because it was a shocking image.

I dont think someone lies about death!!! Maybe affairs and lies, not death!!! I hope not, I will be mad at TMZ if it were the case, they did break the Michael Jackson death first, I remember that!!!

[AFCSouth]

Wow, sad. Too young.

[pacolts56]

Very sad news.... I had a chance to meet and say hello to Junior years back when he was shopping with his daughter at a mall in Oceanside. He was a nice guy and chatted with us for a few minutes.

RIP Junior

[Andy]

Very sad. He was a great person, and this is a terrible tragedy. RIP

[ruksak]

If this is true it is horrible.

[P-Money]

The only Charger I ever liked. RIP Junior, you will be missed by every NFL fan and player.

[Playoffs2013]

Goodel has some explaining to do, on the concussion lawsuits

Well, I dont read National Enquirer!!! So I am glad I dont!!!

We will see how this unfolds. Nothing against you, the news is bigger than the messenger here.

Don't get it twisted tho, I can't stand TMZ but those . were right about this just like MJ. You gotta member they are based in LA so Hollywood and socal is their stomping ground. San Diego is 2-3 hrs away and oceanside is even less.

It should be noted that Seau attempted suicide 2 years ago, driving off a cliff, after being arrested for domestic violence

[Peyton and Eli fan]

Shot himself in the chest. Have to wonder if he was preserving his brain for study like Dave Duerson.

[Blackhawk4]

Amazing that 5 years ago he was playing in a SB....A shame this happened

[The Peytonator]

I just seen this. The page I read says the police are investigating a shooting.

I hope it wasn't a suicide, but I know a lot of athletes that take hits to the head end up going that route.

[ruksak]

What?

I doubt scientific study of the cerebellum was on his mind. Many folks choose the heart as a target for a self-inflicted gunshot. Often this may be due to a desire not to jack up their face for the funeral.

[corgi]

Gees that is awful. You never know what goes through another persons mind. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

[ruksak]

I hope it wasn't a suicide, but I know a lot of athletes that take hits to the head end up going that route.

He tried suicide two years ago and it's being reported that he sent an odd text to his ex-wife yesterday.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

I worked in suicide research for 5 years. Self-inflicted shots to the chest are much rarer than shots to the head. I, of course, don't know why he chose the chest (assuming that's true - saw it on deadspin), but it should at least be questioned if he was having post concussion symptoms.

hasnt been confirmed on NFL Network or ESPN that he is dead and it is TMZ, they love a good story even if its made up

Pretty sure they aren't making this up just for kicks...

They have deeply embedded sources inside the police department. All signs point to this being true, unfortunately.

[Gavin]

Pretty sure they aren't making this up just because they are bored...

No they wouldnt do it becuase they were bored but that would for money and to get there TMZ brand out their

I would not be surprised if this is why Junior shot himself that way. Dave Duerson specifically shot himself in the chest to keep his brain intact to be studied so we can learn about how much damage we are doing to our brains through concussions and blows to the head.

Obviously Junior is a very troubled person. It is a shame he chose to do this. I feel so bad for the ones that loved him. It is one thing to lose someone you love by accident or because they got cancer, but to find out they choose to kill themselves just has to be devastating.

Now confirmed via NFLN
