The Dave Duerson suicide gets more disturbing with each subsequent piece of news that emerges about the incident that ended his life.

First, there was the actual suicide. Then, there was the news that he purposely shot himself in the chest so he could donate his intact brain to science for the study of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. And then the news that he was bankrupt and that he had begun to have problems with his memory.

Today, it gets even more disturbing.

In a Miami New Times article, the paper reports the minute details of Duerson’s suicide from the autopsy report.

Before shooting himself, Duerson had propped a chair against the front door of his apartment and laid out documents on the dining room table. According to the story, he also placed “two framed certificates, framed medals, and a folded American flag at the head of the bed. Naked except for a gold necklace, he climbed into bed and pulled a green sheet up to his neck.”

Then, he held a .38 Special in his left hand and shot himself in the chest, with the bullet lodging in his right lung.
