Ex-NFL player Phillip Adams had CTE at time of rampage that killed 6, doctors say
Former NFL player Phillip Adams had stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, when he is alleged to have gunned down six people before taking his own life in April in South Carolina, officials announced Tuesday.
Dr. Ann McKee of Boston University, who conducted the examination on Adams' brain tissue, said in a news conference Tuesday that Adams' CTE was “unusually severe in both frontal lobes" and may have contributed to his “behavioral abnormalities.”

I know a guy who played high school ball with him and knew him and his family very well. He has nothing but high praise as to how fantastic they are.ap215 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 7:57 am Ex-NFL player Phillip Adams had CTE at time of rampage that killed 6, doctors say

Okay, so far so good.
This seems to be pure and total speculation. I haven't found anywhere where any doctor cut him off from medication.Adams went on the killing spree because the doctor cug off his pain medication.
Now, the NFL dropped the ball on helping him, that's for sure. But there really hasn't been any motive for the shootings found. He was not a patient of the doctor he killed.

The articles I read - from actual new sources, not tabloids - said there was no known connection between the doctor and Adams. But leave it up to a right-wing Trumper politician to spread rumors without knowing they are true or not.Glennfs wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:40 pm Well that took all of 3 minutes

But doing more research in ACTUAL news sources, it looks like the doctor, who owned two urgent care and was an author, was also the supervising physician/medical director and supervised the nursing staff at Winthrop University.
If he had been treating Adams, there would have been records, and the police wouldn't be saying there was no known link between Adams and the doctor.
I do understand how unfounded rumors can spread among a small community, especially when something so senseless happened.

“ The police have yet to explain why Adams, who was described by friends as “chill” and almost reclusive, singled out the doctor, or whether the two men had any relationship.
But Representative Ralph Norman, Republican of South Carolina, told Charlotte’s WBTV Thursday that he had learned from law enforcement officials that Dr. Lesslie had seen Adams as a patient. Sheriff officials would not confirm the relationship.
“He was treating him and stopped giving him medicine and that’s what triggered the killings from what I understand,” said Norman, whose district encompasses Rock Hill.”

Police officially say they know of no connection between the player and doctor. If he was his doctor, there would be records. Hell, there’d be records of his prescriptions from the doctor.
Not interested what this Trumper idiot says to tabloids, probably for money.

Just made it up out of hole cloth. Because as a long-standing community leader he’s not going to have access to local law enforcement.gounion wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 11:57 am Trumper idiot Congressman peddling rumors.

The Doctor was a pillar of the community. They desire not to sensationalize it. The family knew the doctor and he may have been trying to help.
As to the congressman, he is a well know long term local leader, real estate developer, and party leader. Obviously well known and connected in a largely republican area. He has back channel access.

It's hilarious you gave up all pretense of being anything but a hard-right loon.
