The report has been confirmed by the North County Times: 
 Pro football great and Oceanside sports legend Junior Seau has apparently committed suicide, found by a housekeeper with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to multiple sources. Oceanside Mayor Jim Wood said he learned of the death from police Chief Frank McCoy. Police responded to Seau's home on The Strand on Wednesday after receiving a call about a reported suicide.
