Junior Seau Died of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound to the Chest, Like Dave Duerson
By Ty Duffy
This wasn’t Seau’s first erratic incident. On October 18 2010, Seau was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and released from police custody at 3:20 am. He was found later that morning after having driven his Cadillac Escalade off a cliff. He claimed to have been asleep at the wheel.
It is premature to draw any conclusions, but if a star of Seau’s stature and recent vintage was suffering from C.T.E. that could radically alter public perception.
