Dave Duerson Autopsy Results

Greetings folks;

If you're having a great day and could really do without a complete and utter bummer of a story, perhaps you should just hit-up youtube for some videos of kittens getting run over by ride-on lawnmowers. Sorry. I meant riding ride-on mowers.

If not, recall the bit I posted about ex-NFL'er Dave Duerson a little while back with an attached article on Deadspin?

The former Chicago Bear safety suffered from clinical depression and killed himself with a shotgun blast to the chest so as to protect his brain for the purpose of study. His methodical planning of the suicide and detailed instructions for family are selfless attempts mired by a very selfish act.

While the initial interview with Duerson linked above left me feeling inconsolably sad, the follow-up and autopsy results linked just below only compound my sense of grief for a man I've never met.
