While his peers and fans praised Freels headfirst approach throughout an
eight-year career in the major leagues, which he deemed necessary to
compensate for being undersize and less talented, the person closest to
him became tormented by it.
.
I cringed that thats who he was all-out, full throttle, she said. It was
very hard to watch.
.
An accumulation of concussions, as well as mood swings and troubling
incidents, left relatives and Freel himself apprehensive about his
well-being.
.
Still, she was surprised to learn that Freel, 36, was found dead in his
Jacksonville residence Dec. 22. Authorities concluded that the cause was a
self-inflicted shotgun wound.
.
I know a lot of people say they werent shocked by it, but I really was,
said Freel, who had been divorced from Ryan Freel since April after 11
years of marriage, and had spoken to him briefly on the eve of his death.
I really thought, at some point, the answer to all of this would come
along for him. It just never did.
.
Now his family will seek answers post-mortem.
.
A spate of suicides and diagnosed cases of dementia involving retired
N.F.L. players has prompted research to determine whether there is a
correlation between constant blows to the head, which are endemic to
football, and a degenerative brain disease known as chronic traumatic
encephalopathy.

With Freel, the center enters the realm of baseball, a sport not usually
associated with head trauma. His parents approved the donation of tissue
to search for evidence of C.T.E., which might partly explain his decline
as a consequence of the injuries.
