-- Paul Oliver,
a former defensive back for the University of Georgia and the San Diego
Chargers, was found dead this week, apparently from a self-inflicted
gunshot.
His death marks the latest in a string of suicides among former professional football players.
"Everyone in the Chargers
family is sad today after hearing the news about Paul," a statement
from the NFL team said. "He was part of our family for five years. At
just 29 years old, he still had a lifetime in front of him. Right now
all of our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most
difficult time."
