      It's obvious that Junior had problems. It's a shame that he didn't seek help or no one offered to help. RIP

          unbelievably sad. Truly one of my favorites to watch for the better part of two decades.

            Sounds like suicide via a gunshot wound.

              Once again someone taking the easy way out by killing themselves!

              What problems are large enough to warrant the will to longer live?

              No excuse for this action of cowardice! Too many kill themselves instead of seeking help. Should have asked God for help!

                I highly disagree.

                In the case of mental illness or brain injury, the person may not have the self control or self awareness that you apparently think or she would have.

                I'm not suggesting I know why Junior Seau committed suicide.

                  Not to derail the thread, but I don't think suicide is "the easy way out." Some people are in such physical or mental torment that ending life seems like the most peaceful and painless option. I don't know all of the particulars of Seau's case, but for some, the demons are so bad that they destroy the will to live.

                    Re: RIP Junior Seau

                    @ Camarokids.....what kind of answer is that???

                    First, Seau shot himself in the chest which is common for people with mental issues to do as they want their brain left intact for medical examination. He probably was in tremendous pain to make a decision to end his life.

                    Second, it has been proven that repeated concussions can cause constant and permanant pain that no medication(short of being drugged into a walking coma) can cure with modern medicine.

                    Thirdly, It always amazes me how someone who is in good health and leading a happy life can "Thump" a bible and tell someone who is down to "TALK to GOD" and it will be okay. Not everybody has the same beliefs OR wants to listen to preaching everytime things go bad.

                      Rest in Peace Junior & God Bless your Family.

                      As a Native San Diegan & someone that has met him several times, I`m deeply saddened. Say what you want about Demons etc...We ALL have them. Anyone that says they don`t, I won`t Believe.

                          Is it easy to kill ones self? Please enlighten me.

                          What problems did Junior face? Any information on that? Please inform us all. I would like to know. Possibly the slamming of his head against opponents for 20 years caused an issue? You’ve experienced that and know the long term effects?

                          Do you know for a fact that Junior did not ask for help? Once again, please explain . . . .

                            Every 88 MINUTES a U.S. combat soldier kills themselves, are they taking the easy way out? Or could it be the constant bombing/shooting, "shell shock" if you will, that they are exposed to takes a toll on certain parts of their brains?

                            In Seaus case the hitting and pounding on a daily basis might have done the same thing to his brain as a combat vet. I would go out on a limb and bet when they do an autopsy they will find damage to his frontal lobe and his temporal lobe

                              So does that mean all NFL players with veteran status will be 86'ing themselves?

                              I don't think we can compare NFL players to combat vets.
