In the wake of the bloodshed, cops discovered a rambling note where Tamura mentioned the ex-NFL star and claimed that he, too, suffered from CTE – a brain injury linked to head trauma.

“Terry Long football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze,” the note stated, according to sources.

“Please study brain for CTE. I’m sorry. The league knowingly concealed the dangers to our brains to maximize profits. They failed us.”

Long, who was an offensive lineman for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the late 80s, was diagnosed with CTE after he killed himself in 2005 by downing antifreeze.
