Ex-NHL player Chris Simon's family is revealing the tragic details surrounding his sudden passing ... confirming the 52-year-old took his own life, and they believe it was the result of CTE.

The former enforcer's loved ones released a statement via his former agent Paul Theofanous on Wednesday ... saying they saw Simon show strong signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a brain disease caused from concussions and traumatic head injuries.

"The family strongly believes and witnessed firsthand, that Chris struggled immensely from CTE which unfortunately resulted in his death," the statement read.

"We are grieving with the loss of our son, brother, father, partner, teammate and friend," the family continued. "The entire Wawa community is sharing in our grief. We will not be releasing any further details at this time and ask for privacy during this very difficult time. We appreciate everyone who shares in our tragic loss."

As we previously reported, the hockey community was devastated by the news ... and an outpour of tributes came out in honor of the 15-year NHL vet.

The NHL Alumni Association addressed the loss ... saying, "Chris was never afraid to stand up for his teammates, and played a key role in the dressing room. He was a beloved friend, father, brother, and son."

Chris won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996 ... and played for several other teams, including the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders.

Shocking news in the NFL world ... Aaron Donald -- arguably the best defensive player of his generation -- is retiring.

The Los Angeles superstar just announced his decision on social media ... revealing that after 10 seasons with the Rams, he's hanging up his cleats.

In his announcement post, the 32-year-old thanked L.A.'s org. and its fans ... before explaining he's now hoping that without football in his life, he'll be able to spend plenty more time with his wife and kids.

"Throughout my career," Donald said, "I have given my everything to football both mentally and physically -- 365 days a year was dedicated to becoming the best possible player I could be."

"I respected this game like no other and I'm blessed to be able to conclude my NFL career with the same franchise that drafted me."

Donald was picked by the Rams in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and he immediately became one of the team's best players. In his first year, he started 12 games and won Defensive Rookie of the Year honors.

He went on to make the Pro Bowl in every season he played in ... and was named an All-Pro eight total times. He also won Defensive Player of the Year honors three times.

Most didn't expect him to retire this offseason -- as he was still playing at an extremely high level. However, rumors of him possibly turning in his helmet have swirled since 2022, when it was revealed that he had previously only envisioned playing eight seasons.

The only question that remains surrounding his career is not if he'll get a gold jacket in five years -- but whether or not he'll be remembered as the greatest defensive tackle ever.

Tres hombres se enfrentan a cargos federales relacionados con el porte de armas con relación al tiroteo de Kansas City ocurrido justo en medio de la celebración de los Chiefs por el Super Bowl. Esto, después de que el fiscal de Estados Unidos en Missouri dijera que la investigación reveló una operación ilegal de armas.

Los acusados, Fedo Manning, de 22 años, Ronnel Williams Jr., de 21 años, y Chaelyn Groves, de 19 años, no están acusados de abrir fuego en el desfile, pero los fiscales creen que formaban parte de alguna actividad relacionada con el "tráfico ilegal de armas de fuego".

Durante su investigación, la policía recuperó múltiples armas de fuego en la escena, al menos dos de los cuales fueron capaces de rastrear a la supuesta red ilegal de armas.

Una de las armas, una pistola Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 calibre .223, fue supuestamente comprada por Manning en una armería en 2022. Fedo Manning está acusado de traficar ilegalmente con decenas de armas.

La segunda arma, correspondiente a una pistola Stag Arms calibre 300, fue supuestamente comprada por Williams para Groves en una feria de armas en 2023, ya que este último era demasiado joven en ese momento.

En total, Manning se enfrenta a 12 cargos federales, mientras que Williams Jr. y Groves fueron golpeados con 4 cargos.

Ninguno de los hombres está siendo acusado de disparar a nadie, aunque los funcionarios no están descartando la posibilidad de que las armas ilegales hayan sido disparadas.

De hecho, según documentos judiciales, 12 personas blandieron armas de fuego y al menos 6 dispararon sus armas durante el desfile.

"Detener a los compradores y prevenir el tráfico ilegal de armas de fuego es nuestra primera línea de defensa contra la violencia armada", dijo la fiscal federal Teresa Moore.

"Al menos dos de las armas de fuego recuperadas de la escena del tiroteo masivo en Union Station fueron compradas o traficadas ilegalmente. Trabajamos diligentemente con nuestros socios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley para mantener las armas de fuego fuera del alcance de los delincuentes, investigando y persiguiendo a quienes compran y venden ilegalmente armas peligrosas".

Para su información, straw gun es un término utilizado para referirse a alguien que compra un arma para otro individuo.

Three men are facing federal gun charges in connection with the Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting after the U.S. Attorney in Missouri says the investigation turned up an illegal gun operation.

The defendants, 22-year-old Fedo Manning, 21-year-old Ronnel Williams Jr., and 19-year-old Chaelyn Groves are not accused of opening fire at the parade ... but instead, prosecutors believe they were part of "illegal firearms trafficking and straw purchases of firearms."

During their investigation into the shooting, police recovered multiple firearms at the scene ... at least two of which they were able to trace back to the alleged illegal gun ring.

One of the weapons, an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 .223-caliber pistol, was allegedly bought by Manning from a gun store in 2022. He's accused of illegally trafficking dozens of guns.

The second weapon was a Stag Arms 300-caliber pistol was allegedly purchased by Williams for Groves at a gun show in 2023 ... as the latter was too young at the time.

In total, Manning is facing 12 federal charges, while Williams Jr. and Groves were both hit with 4 charges.

None of the men are charged with shooting anyone ... though officials aren't ruling out the possibility that the illegal guns were fired.

In fact, according to court docs, 12 people brandished firearms, and at least 6 fired their weapons during the parade.

"Stopping straw buyers and preventing illegal firearms trafficking is our first line of defense against gun violence," U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore said.

"At least two of the firearms recovered from the scene of the mass shooting at Union Station were illegally purchased or trafficked. We work diligently with our law enforcement partners to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals by investigating and prosecuting those who illegally buy and sell dangerous weapons."

FYI, a straw gun sale is when someone purchases a weapon for another individual.
