BOSTON (CBS) — Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, Calif., on Wednesday, according to TMZ.

TMZ reported that Seau shot himself.

The report said that police and the coroner’s office were called to Seau’s home to investigate a possible shooting.

The report says that police and the coroner’s office are investigating a scene inside Seau’s home, though the details are still unclear.

Seau was in the news in 2010 for driving his car off a cliff after an alleged domestic dispute.

Seau, 43, spent 20 seasons in the NFL, most recently playing for the New England Patriots from 2006-09. He was a 12-time Pro Bowler and 10-time All-Pro.

Junior Seau Dead Cops Suspect Suicide

11:27 AM PDT -- We're told a 911 call came in around 10:00 AM. No word on who made the call.

11:26 AM PDT -- The North County Times is reporting Seau's body was discovered by his housekeeper.

11:23 AM PDT -- The coroner just arrived on scene.

NFL legend Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, CA ... and a law enforcement source at the scene tells us cops believe he shot himself. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife.

Cops are currently at Seau's home -- located in San Diego County -- and were seen talking with a man who was inside the house and appeared distraught. We're told Seau sent text messages to his ex-wife and 3 kids yesterday saying, "Love you." We're told they all responded and didn't suspect anything was wrong. We're told he last saw his kids 3 weeks ago. Sources close to Seau tell us family members didn't notice any signs of depression in recent weeks.

That's not unusual, when somebody decides to off themselves, they are often seemingly at peace knowing that in their minds, all of their troubles will soon be over.

If the domestic violence issues are true then the keyword here is “was”.

Enjoyed his time with the Patriots. Other than that I know little of him.

It was quite a shock to check FR and see this as the newest story.

As a Chargers fan, I always enjoyed watching Seau play. He was a great one.

Really, really sad! What a waste.

Prayers for his family, his youngest son is only eleven or twelve.

(You mean all of their earthly troubles, doncha...??? Otherwise, that comes across as advocating suicide with no future accountability...and I don't think you meant that, right? After all, suicide is still murder of that which is not yours -- your life...Christ died for Junior's life and mine, for his sins and mine...Still, "You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." -- 1 Cor. 6:19-20)

Very sad. He will have to watch his inevitable Hall of Fame Induction from Heaven.

Many are already speculating about concussions leading to this. Still, my guess if a spirit had appeared to Seau when he was graduating USC and said “if you play in the NFL, you will become one of the greatest linebackers the game has ever known but you will die at 43”, Seau would have still played.

I thought it was another former Chargers LB, Shawn Merriman, who was hooked up with Tequila.

Then there are the cases of people killing their spouse and kids and then themselves.
