A New York Times article address how the suicide of a Penn player in April may have been caused by a trauma-induced disease.

A brain autopsy conducted by doctors at Boston University revealed that Owen Thomas may have been suffering from early stages of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disease linked to depression and impulse control issues.

Symptoms of CTE have been found in at least 20 deceased NFL players.

Doctors were quick to point out that CTE may not have been the sole cause of his committing suicide. Thomas had no previous history of depression, but was observed to have had a "sudden and uncharacteristic emotional collapse" prior to taking his life.

Thomas was the second Penn player in five years to commit suicide. Kyle Ambrogi committed suicide in 2005.
