A doctor announced Tuesday that former NFL cornerback Phillip Adams suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) when he killed six people and himself in April.
According to Josh Peter of USA Today, Boston University CTE Center Director and neuropathologist Ann McKee made the determination after examining Adams' brain.
McKee called Adams' case of CTE "severe" and noted it was comparable to former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, who was convicted of the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd in 2015 before killing himself in 2017.
