He wanted to donate his brain after he died for concussion studies. I think it was more that than preserving himself for an Open Casket. I'm still not believing it until I see it on ESPN. End of story. Screw that.
I have updated the story and changed the URL...it's looks like it's true folks.. GIF and it's members send our sincere condolences to his ex-wife, children, his parents, friends and his family.
Screw. That's sad. But this unfortunately isn't the first time he's tried to do this. I forgot about this, I'm afraid this might get worse before it gets better folks.
I fear you're right. Loved this dude when I was growing up. He was adored in San Diego, damn near the level Tony Gwynn was. Sad to see it all end like this.
There have been 8 players from the Super Bowl XXIX Chargers team to die young...this is just freaking sad and weird..
Yeah but honestly, he thought he was going to be brought up on charges. A man's going to say a lot of things and I don't think Seau was one to say that he tried to off himself and failed. Either way, horrible when the only way out is to end your own life. Here's hoping that if there IS in fact more to this story that they just let it lie wherever it presently is and don't feel the need to drag Junior through the mud.
Seau is the 8th guy from the 1994 Chargers to die before the age of 45... Chris Mims Sean Lee Curtis Whitley Doug Miller Lou Curtis Rodney Culver David Griggs Junior Seau Way to early to be leaving us...
