some people here have CTE on the brain
if you bothered to do any reading on him, he had multiple DUI's and substance problems that happened while he was still playing.

No idea, I crossed paths with him during college and he always had a lot of issues. Very common for people in Missouri

Yeah, we all know about his problems. I was asking about the direct cause of his death.
