This just killed my day. It kills me a little inside when professional athletes die in a violent matter.

Sounds like suicide; shot himself.

I'm not really sure how anyone can do that when they have a child.

Did he have any concussions in his career?

It wonders me why an athelete would choose this. I wonder if any sorts of drugs were invovled that could have made him suicidal. It's a tragedy, I'll pray for his family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Such a young age too. What a shame.

I'm guessing drugs could have been a factor.

Great find, I never knew Woody Paige suffered through depression. And I agree strongly with the "The demons of depression come out when you're alone, when you have nothing to do" part. Kenny may have been a happy and smiley person with his teammates but could have been something totally different at home alone. But idk im just speculating.

That was such a sad story. Way too young. I don't think we realize the stress of the NFL
