SoberChef Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Unattended death? Is that code for possible suicide? Oh man, I hope it doesn't have to do with brain trauma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I hope it doesn't have to do with brain trauma I'd say that suicide is a near-100% probability and that CTE was a significant contributing factor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggie Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 He was an extremely powerful running back who ran without fear. I’m certain CTE played a role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the condition his body was in, according to the examiner, that probably would have been a moot point because of the decomposition.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
