Junior Seau joins eerie death list of 1994 Chargers Super Bowl squad
Source: NY Daily News
Seau, 43, is the third '94 Charger to die the past two years, following linebacker Lew Bush, who died of a heart attack in December of 2011 and defensive tackle Shawn Lee, who died in February of 2011 at the age of 44 from cardiac arrest brought on by double pneumonia.
Three years before Lee and Bush's death, defensive end Chris Mims and center Curtis Whitley were both discovered dead in their homes in 2008. Mims, who weighed 456 pounds when he died, was killed by an enlarged heart, and Whitley, who had a history of substance abuse, was found dead in his Texas trailer.
The curse of the '94 squad began shortly after they played in the Super Bowl. In 1995, five months after losing to the 49ers in the big game, linebacker David Griggs died after his speeding car slid off an expressway ramp in Florida. Griggs, who was later determined to have been drunk at the time of the crash, was 28.
Less than a year later, running back Rodney Culver died in a plane crash at the age of 26, and in July 1998, linebacker Doug Miller died after being struck by lightning.
