Summary

On April 7, 2021, 32-year-old former NFL player Phillip Adams shot and killed six people, including two young children, at a home in Rock Hill, South Carolina before killing himself.

The victims of the attack were Phillip's doctor, Robert Lesslie, his wife, their two grandchildren, and two air conditioner technicians who were working at the home.

A motive hasn't been confirmed, but it's been said that Dr. Lesslie had discontinued prescribing Phillip pain medication that he was prescribed after suffering multiple injuries and concussions in the NFL.

Phillip's family say that his mental state had rapidly deteriorated over the last few months and believe head trauma from his football career is to blame.

His brain will be tested for CTE as part of his autopsy, but the results can take a few months.

In this episode, we continue our overall discussion on CTE in regard to WWE Superstar Chris Benoit (Part 1) and Phillip Adams.

**Note: There have already been a few minor updates to Phillip's case that we will talk about briefly in our next episode**
