YMMV / Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S13 E10 "Spiraling Down"

• Harsher in Hindsight: We see an ex-football star named Jake Stanton who gets in trouble for patronizing a prostitute and then indecent exposure. It's revealed that he has CTE, which is a disease that degenerates the brain as a result of many concussions. After it's found apparent that he was not of the right mind, the episode ends with Stanton taking a gun from a cop and then committing suicide by shooting himself in the chest. While this is based loosely on what Dave Duerson did in early 2011, the episode rings even more harsh when you consider that Chargers star Junior Seau also took his own life by shooting himself in the chest just six months after the episode aired, something which many believe he did because he wanted to leave his brain intact so it could be examined for CTE.
