Cops are
currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and
leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife.
Seau was a beast in the NFL --
skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers,
Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the
first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20
years.
Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his
SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly
attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ...
insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel.
Updates:
11:33 AM PDT --
Sources tell us ... Seau died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.
Back in 2011, former NFL star Dave Duerson shot himself in the chest ...
and explained in his suicide note that he wanted his brain donated to a research
center because he believed the blows he took to the head during his football
career caused him to become mentally impaired.
11:27 AM PDT -- We're told
a 911 call came in around 10:00 AM. No word on who made the call.
11:26
AM PDT -- The North County Times is reporting Seau's body was discovered by his
housekeeper.
11:23 AM PDT -- The coroner just arrived on scene.
