The San Diego Chargers have confirmed the passing of linebacker Junior Seau.
“Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now,” the team said. “We ask everyone to stop what they’re doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family.”
Seau, 43, reportedly died today of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He spent 20 years in the NFL, and he undoubtedly will be enshrined in Canton upon his first eligibility.
We extend our condolences to Junior’s family, his friends, his teammates, his coaches, and the entire Chargers organization.
