It’s been over a year since Former Kansas City Chiefs’ linebacker Jovan Belcher killed his girlfriend and then himself. Now comes word his body has been exhumed in order to examine his brain for signs of CTE, a degenerative condition linked to repeated concussions.
Belcher’s family had his body exhumed Friday. It is noted that the examination could be complicated because it’s been a year since his death, but according to Bennet Omalu, an expert on the destructive brain condition, vital information could still be gathered.
