Ex-Bears Safety Dave Duerson Died Of Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound

Former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson died of a self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Tribune. His death has been ruled a suicide, but the Miami-Dade police department has not made the information public yet. Foul play was ruled out in part because no one but Duerson was seen entering his condominium for two days prior to the shooting. The 50-year-old was found dead Thursday night in his Miami home.

Who shoot them self in the chest to commit suicide?

 

good point Mush.

wonder if he owed some people money perhaps.

if he did commit suicide I wonder fi it had to do with concussions.

 

He asked to donate his brain to be studied.

 

Sad story...

 

such a shame. Being a former player myself all this concussion stuff scares the crap out of me.

 

Duerson was a stud player in his prime. For anyone to meet their demise like this is just sad.

 

I'm still pretty stunned by this news. :icon_sad:

 

RIP
