Very sad indeed. Tragic for a wife and children to lose their dad.
I'm still not sold on this whole CTE thing though. The science is shakey at best and while scans can identify brain issues they can't pinpoint that CTE is the culprit. The symptoms of memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, etc can come from any host of issues even genetics. Which brings up another issue as they can't explain why some people develop it while others with seemingly far worse or more concussions never have a problem. I'm not trying to disprove it as there are people a lot smarter than I who are researching it, just saying I'm still in the fence. IMO it doesn't help when the postmortem diagnosis is being done by the doctor who came up with it either. For science to lend itself to validity an independent group should be doing the autopsy diagnosis. I would also be interested in seeing tests done on people displaying the same symptoms without a history of head trauma but so far its only being done on suspect cases.
