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.

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.

I loved watching him play. This is terrible.

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.

Surprising news. Good football player. His former girlfriend was Tila Tequila. I thought it was another former Chargers LB, Shawn Merriman, who was hooked up with Tequila.
