Interesting. But no less sad.
For those not familiar with the backstory - although most male suicides are done with a headshot (females who use firearms are more likely to go with a chest shot so as to leave open the option for an open-casket funeral) instead of the more-painful chestshot - Junior Seau is the second NFL star to use a chest shot.
Dave Duerson was the first, and he is on record as having said "Please, see that my brain is given to the NFL's brain bank."
