Brain trauma and football have become inexorably linked. But a recent Harvard study suggestions there are other dangers for football playersWhen an NFL player takes his own life, there is often speculation about why. Injuries and unemployment – a common occurrence in a violent sport where players are frequently traded and cut – have been linked with increased risks of suicidal ideation. In parallel to those factors, however, exists chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). A degenerative brain condition caused by repeated trauma to the head, CTE’s links with football are established and almost impossible to ignore. Players ranging from widely admired Pro Bowlers such as Junior Seau and Dave Duerson, to those infamous for more notorious reasons, such as Aaron Hernandez and Phillip Adams, were all confirmed to have CTE by autopsies. (The condition can only be diagnosed posthumously.) All four players killed themselves.Such anecdotal observations imply a certain, coherent logic that connects playing football with suicide. Tackle football, by its nature, increases participants’ risk of head injury. Head injuries increase the likelihood of an affected individual attempting suicide. CTE is often the cumulative consequence of years of head injuries and, indeed, many high-profile NFL players who have taken their own lives have been confirmed to suffer from CTE. So it’s easy to reason that football and/or CTE, by their very nature, lead to an increased risk of suicide.In the US, you can call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

A new analysis by the UK's National Police Chiefs' Council reveals a 25% increase in suicides linked to domestic abuse, with women accounting for a significant share of victims. The Domestic Homicide Project has expanded tracking to include suspected suicides following abuse, uncovering cases previously missed. Experts cite coercive control, emotional abuse and isolation as key factors, with many victims having prior contact with police or support services. Officials call for better coordination between police, healthcare and social care systems.
Official figures show 150 domestic abuse victims died by suicide in England and Wales in the year to March 2025, a 53% rise from 98 in the previous period. The Domestic Homicide Project linked the increase to improved awareness and a change in police practice requiring officers to check for domestic abuse history at suicide scenes. Young people aged 16-19 represent 18.2% of victims, while 73% of suicides were women. Police warned violent online content may be contributing to teenage cases.
