Report: NFL Star Junior Seau Suffered From Traumatic Brain Disease Prior to Suicide

Martha MacCallum reports that a new study has found that former NFL linebacker Junior Seau suffered from traumatic brain disease because of head trauma. Seau killed himself last May just two years after retiring as one of best linebackers in NFL history.

A team of scientists from the National Institutes of Health analyzed his brain tissue and found this disease, which can cause dementia, memory loss, and depression. Several dozen football players have been diagnosed with traumatic brain disease.
