Junior Seau, Dead at 43

In Memorium

Junior Seau was 43.   He was a 12-time Pro Bowler and 6-time First-Team All-Pro NFL linebacker, enjoying his best seasons with the San Diego Chargers.

Early reports indicate Junior Seau died from a self-inflicted gunshot. That's a damn shame, he was one of my favourites.

Update:

Junior Seau is the 8th member of the 1994 Chargers team that made the Super Bowl to have passed away.  Here are the 8 along with the causes of their deaths:

  • Junior Seau - suicide
  • Lew Bush - heart attack
  • Rodney Culver - plane crash
  • Dave Griggs - car accident
  • Doug Miller - stuck by lightning
  • Shawn Lee - heart attack
  • Chris Mims - enlarged heart
  • Curtis Whitley - drug overdose
