The family of former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau has donated some of his brain tissue for research, according to the Associated Press.

Seau committed suicide in early May, and his family made the decision to donate brain tissue in order to determine if the reason for taking his own life might be linked to injuries sustained playing football.
