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
