It is entirely possible at his young age he may not have had any concussion problems but was just a young man unable to cope with his relationship breaking down, the sad reality of most pro sports players in the US is they sacrifice almost everything to reach the pros, including, all to often, healthy emotional growth.

Concussions aren't necessary for CTE. This unfortunate series of events IS multifactorial. No one said anything was certain except one poster said it had NOTHING to do with it.
It simply isn't very debatable that CTE is likely to increase violent behavior, or that Football players without history of concussions may very well develop CTE. Concussions are not the issue.
