Pro football great and Oceanside sports legend Junior Seau has apparently committed suicide, found by a housekeeper with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to multiple sources.

Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood said he learned of the death from police Chief Frank McCoy.

Police responded to Seau's home on The Strand on Wednesday after receiving a call about a reported suicide. The San Diego County medical examiner's office said an investigator was sent to the scene.

Apparently it is Samoan family tradition that the family must see the body after the person has passed on. Given the way he passed, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that must have been for his family. Such a sad story.

It is very sad, especially considering the clear indications that he was troubled. It is stories such as these that should prompt the NFL to become more proactive with regards to players (both current and former) mental health issues.
