How did he die?

I don't think CTE generally kills that young? Of course I have no medical degree and such, but I always viewed it as a long term degenerative issue. Not a sudden killer at 41.

Also do offensive guards generally get head trauma on the level of a TE or QB?

Was it suicide? For some reason, when it's usually suicide, the article never mentions it, as if no one is curious how a 41-year-old died.

Can you even die just from CTE?

Is depression from CTE treatable ? Is there just so much stigma around mental health in big male athletes that they don’t get help?

[–] Carolinaathiest@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It looks like it may have been suicide.
