“Following a thorough assessment and extensive analysis by our neuropathology experts, OCME has found unambiguous diagnostic evidence of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, also known as CTE, in the brain tissue of the decedent. The findings correspond with the classification of low-stage CTE, according to current consensus criteria,” the medical examiner’s office said. “CTE may be found in the brains of decedents with a history of repeated exposure to head trauma. The science around this condition continues to evolve, and the physical and mental manifestations of CTE remain under study.”

The medical examiner’s office previously said Tamura died by suicide of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The pathologists do not say whether CTE played a role.

I’m very sorry this young man suffered from CTE, and I understand it affected his thinking, but he still had enough wherewithal in him to plan this and follow through with the logistics of getting to NYC and to NFL headquarters.

If he was acting strangely, I wish he had been placed in a medical facility. I know it cannot be diagnosed until autopsy, but still, innocent people far away shouldn’t have had to die because this young man chose to play football.
