Suicide?

[kidcudi92]

with that name I am guessing it was a VBIED

[Mr KLC]

Found a note next to his body. I wonder if he was suffering from brain injuries.

CTE most likely was a factor.

Damn. Rest in peace. I remember being a kid playing football in the street, and I would say I was Rashaad Salaam. Can't forget a name like that.

BOULDER, Colo. -- The University of Colorado football program will retire No. 19 in honor of Rashaan Salaam, who killed himself in December at age 42.

It will be the first number retired by the program in 47 years. The ceremony will take place during Colorado's homecoming game against Cal on Oct. 28.

Salaam won the school's only Heisman Trophy in 1994, when he also won the Doak Walker Award and was a unanimous All-American and Walter Camp National Player of the Year. That season, Salaam became the fourth player in the nation to rush for 2,000 yards in an era where schools generally played 11 games and didn't count bowl statistics in season totals.
