1. Football. Excerpt below regarding Dorner's concussions from playing football

Dormer wasn't finished with sports as well, as he wrote about the possibility that he is suffering from concussion-related brain damage from playing football. He wrote that he was suffering from severe depression, possibly stemming from playing football in high school when he sustained concussions.

From the report: "If possible, I want my brain preserved for science/research to study the effects of severe depression on an individual's brain. Since 6/26/08 when I was relieved of duty and 1/2/09 when I was terminated I have been afflicted with severe depression. I've had two CT scans during my lifetime that are in my medical record at Kaiser Permanente. Both are from concussions resulting from playing football. The first one was in high school, 10/96. The second was in college and occurred in 10/99. Both were conducted at Kaiser Permanente hospitals in LA/Orange county. These two CT scans should give a good baseline for my brain activity before severe depression began in late 2008."
