NFL great Junior Seau was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in his home in Oceanside on Wednesday morning, according to multiple reports.
Seau, 43, among the best linebackers in NFL history, was found by his housekeeper, the North County Times reported, citing an unnamed source.
A former USC star, Seau was selected fifth overall in the 1990 draft by San Diego. He played for the Chargers from 1990-2002, then spent three years with the Miami Dolphins before finishing his career with New England. He played for the Patriots from 2006-09.
Seau made the Pro Bowl 12 times and was a 10-time All-Pro.
“Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now. We ask everyone to stop what they’re doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family,” the Chargers said in a statement.
In October 2010, he drove off a beachside cliff in Carlsbad in his Cadillac SUV and was found in the car on the beach, about 100 feet below the roadside. Hours earlier, he had been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence involving his live-in girlfriend.
Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself but had simply dozed off at the wheel.
May he rest in peace, and may his family be able to cope with his life changing decision. This is a perfect example of how money can't always keep or make you happy. A lot of people would say that if they were in his shoes, they wouldn't have did what he did. Until you live the life of someone who is rich and wealthy, you really can't speak on these type of situations. Rich people get stressed out and have bad days just like the middle class and poor.
