According to TMZ, former Chargers linebacker Junior Seau is dead at the age of 43. Seau was found dead in his California home. Police are investigating a shooting inside the home. Suicide is suspected.

Seau was drafted by the Chargers in 1990 as the 5th overall pick. During his career, he was a 12-time Pro Bowler and a 6-time First-Team All-Pro. He played his last game for the Patriots in the 2009 playoffs.

Seau leaves behind three children and an ex-wife. Seau is the ninth member of the Chargers 1995 Super Bowl team to die.

As a 13-year player for the Chargers, the Broncos and their fans know Seau very well. He created havoc especially in the mid to late 90s.

RIP Junior Seau.
