I read elsewhere that he was stage 3, which isn't reached by most former football players until they're in their 70s. By that time, they know they have something seriously wrong with their brains. His suicide makes a lot more sense now. he had been acquitted in the one murder case and I had heard that his appeal was going well on the Lloyd case. In fact, I had had the thought "Damn! He's going to walk out of there a free man." Of course, he also thought he was leaving his wife and child millions, when he was leaving them broke...

I heard on the radio where they were talking about a study showing that drug use appears to make CTE worse. It's still early but if he was that bad, at that early of an age, then the drug use could be a factor. Or he had had a tremendous number of brain injuries over a long period of time.

I'm sure, head to head collisions, drug use and other head to head collisions exacerbated his demise. ;)
