1. Has there been any additional information made available regarding the circumstances of his death? It would not be a surprise to learn it had something to do with CTE, but I don’t want to jump to that conclusion without any supporting evidence.

2. Jeez…52 is so young. RIP Chris.

3. I remember him on the Caps, those were some fun teams

4. Mental illness sucks
