Junior Seau Found Dead After Apparent Suicide

Sad news today, as former Patriots linebacker Junior Seau was found dead today after an apparent suicide. The fourty-three year old Seau was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound. It was particularly odd for me, as I had just watched him talk about John Harbaugh ripping into Bill Belichick over "Spygate." When I watched it, I caught a line from Seau that struck me as very odd: he said that he was confident in the Super Bowls he had won with the Patriots. In hindsight, there could have been much more to that statement.

From Boston.com:

Junior Seau, a 43-year old 12-time NFL Pro Bowl linebacker, was found dead today in his home, the result of a gunshot wound, police confirmed.

Police are investigating the shooting at the Oceanside, Calif., residence of the former New England Patriot and San Diego Chargers football star as a suicide. Police confirmed that Seau was found by his girlfriend at his beachfront home with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Police received a call at 9:35 a.m. PST from Seau's girlfriend, who informed police Seau was unconscious with a gunshot wound, before making their way to Seau's house and performing "life saving" efforts on him in his bedroom, according to police. A handgun was found.
