NFL legend Junior Seau was found dead in his home in Oceanside, CA ... and cops are investigating a shooting ... multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife.

Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years.

Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel.

Damn

Very sad to hear.

The cops are apparently saying it's a suicide.

RIP Junior.

RIP Junior

I hope they do an autopsy on Junior's brain, it will continue to show how serious these head issues effect players.

Horrible news. RIP Junior Seau. Really scary how it seems these head injuries can affect guys long term.

Wow, this is hard to believe. Sure Ken Caminti passed away years ago and that was bad for me, but Seau was the first sports figure that I admired from my childhood days. Excuse my language, but damn...

Holy Crap

It's apparently a suicide too?

Yes it sure does seem that the head injuries do have a great effect, no two ways about it.

I loved watching this guy play (well not when he was in New England LOL) as he was one of the most dominant players at his position for so long.

R.I.P. Junior Seau, you're in a better place now.
