He died in police custody in East Oakland. No other details released yet other than, police were called at 415am to reports of a break-in, and when they arrived, Doug was experiencing an as yet unspecified medical emergency.

Martin’s demise sounds absolutely bonkers.

Ex-NFL/college players are over represented in these awful outcomes.

R.I.P Martin. Really good player in his era. When I was getting into fantasy football for the first time, his name ringed bells

What kind of "episode" does CTE cause high aggression, anxiety, adrenal responses?

It's scary that so many retired athletes go through this.

It's like they need education on how to transition in young retirement. Or more support has to be in place regarding CTE related matters.

Wouldn’t be crazy shocked if he was being “suppressed” or restrained and went into cardiac arrest or something related to being unable to breathe. Could’ve already had pre-existing strain on his cardiopulmonary system and whatever they did to restrain him exacerbated that.

Probably gasping for air and the police was like "stop resisting!"
