Last Wednesday, the Associated Press reported an autopsy revealed former linebacker Adrian Robinson Jr. had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative disease that has been linked to dementia, memory loss and depression.
Robinson committed suicide May 16 by hanging at the age of 25.
“The family noticed that he became more confrontational and on edge,” the family’s attorney Benjamin Andreozzi told The Temple News. “[Adrian] was generally very mild mannered and laid back.”
Pennlive.com reported the Robinsons donated Adrian’s brain to Boston University after his death and were told by researchers Oct. 12 that their findings indicated Robinson had CTE.
