An autopsy reveals unusually severe brain disease in the frontal lobe of the former NFL player accused of fatally shooting six people in Rock Hill, South Carolina, a condition that has been shown to cause violent mood swings and memory loss.

An autopsy has revealed unusually severe brain disease in the frontal lobe of the former NFL player accused of fatally shooting six people in Rock Hill, South Carolina before taking his own life.

Dr McKee, who directs the CTE Center at Boston University, said that of 24 NFL players diagnosed with the disease after dying in their 20s and 30s, most had stage two, like Adams. The disease has four stages, with stage 4 being the most severe and usually associated with dementia. But Adams' CTE diagnosis was different from the other young players because it was "unusually severe" in both frontal lobes, she said.
