With the death of Junior Seau, the 1994 San Diego Chargers Super Bowl team has now lost eight members. Although three were from accidents, the over five were from one overdose, three heart attacks and Seau's suicide.
It started with LB David Griggs whose car slid of an expressway in 1995, resulting in his death.
RB Rodney Culver died with 10 other passengers in a ValueJet plane crash on May 11, 1996.
LB Doug Miller was suffered a fatal lightning strike in 1998 at the age of 28.
Center Curtis Whitley died of a drug overdose on May 11, 2008.
DE Chris Mims died of an enlarged heart on October 15, 2008.
DT Shawn Lee suffered cardiac arrest on February 26, 2011.
LB Lew Bush died of a heart attack at the age of 42 on December 8, 2011.
LB Junior Seau died on May 2, 2012 of an apparent suicide.
The three accidental deaths could happen to anyone at any time. Were the other five the result of playing the game or ingesting various substances into their bodies? It seems a bit out of the ordinary.
