Yeh i got no idea why he shot himself. When i first saw his mom I thought that he'd been murdered or something coz of her reaction. Sad stuff.

What's CEE?

CTE is chronic traumatic encephalopathy. apparently a lot of football players suffer from it after a lifetime of repeated impacts to the head. has been linked to depression, early-onset dementia, and parkinson's-like effects (tremors and such).

Maybe that was the reason he decided to shoot himself in the chest so than he could preserve his brain for research on concussions?
Chicago Bear Dave Duerson shot himself in the chest so that his brain could be used for research on the impact of concussions so it's possible junior did the same thing. I think Junior been suicidal for a while though coz i remember it was in the news that he drove off a cliff in 2010 but denied it was suicide and said that he'd just fell asleep at the wheel but in hindsight it was probs more of a suicide attempt.
