Death of Junior Seau ruled a suicide

According to ABC, the San Diego County medical examiner’s office has confirmed Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The medical examiner’s office says Seau’s family has yet to decide whether to turn the NFL legend’s brain over to outside researchers for study.

There are reports a Boston University research center has already requested to examine Junior’s brain — to see if there’s a link between his suicide and concussion-related injuries he sustained during his NFL career
