Former New York Giants safety Tyler Sash was found dead in his Iowa apartment back in early September after overdosing on pain meds.
What’s really even more sad is that after Sash’s brain was examined, it’s been revealed that he suffered from CTE.
From the New York Times:
Cut by the Giants in 2013 after what was at least his fifth concussion, Sash had returned to Iowa and increasingly displayed irregular behavior, family members said this week. He was arrested in his hometown of Oskaloosa for public intoxication after leading the police on a four-block chase with a motorized scooter, a pursuit that ended with Sash fleeing toward a wooded area.
