Demaryius Thomas diagnosed with CTE after death, but that's not the whole story

It's been nearly seven months since former Denver Broncos star Demariyus Thomas died at age 33, just a half year after retiring from the NFL. On Tuesday we found out more information about what may have contributed to his death, but we may never know the full story.

Boston University doctors announced on Tuesday via the New York Times that Thomas had been posthumously diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE, which had impacted the final year of his life. But his day-to-day life was complicated by seizures, which began affecting him following a car crash in 2019.
