Former San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau was found dead this morning in his Oceanside home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest, which police are investigating as a suicide.

"All of us are deeply saddened about Junior Seau, a great player loved by teammates who also worked hard to serve his community. Junior and his family will remain in our thoughts," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.
The USC alumni was remembered on Twitter by his alma mater, who posted a photo along with this tribute: "The Trojan Family lost a legend today. Junior Seau, we will miss you. Our condolences to his family. #RIP55."
