The family of late NFL player Junior Seau may donate his brain to former WWE wrestler's group
May 4, 2012 - 12:00 PM |
The family of late NFL player Junior Seau has decided to donate his brain to be studied for concussion research. TMZ.com is reporting that while the family has not decided which research center they will donate the brain to, the leading candidates are Sports Legacy Institute at Boston University and the Brain Injury Research Institute. Seau took his own life at age 43 on Wednesday.
Powell's POV: Former WWE wrestler Chris Nowinski cofounded Sports Legacy Institute in 2007. His own pro wrestling career was cut short due to concussions. For more information about SLI, visit Sportslegacy.org/about-sports-legacy-institute/about-sli/.
