    When the news broke about CTE, that was when I stopped watching my Raiders play.

    He didn’t have to die.

    Officials ruled the 55-year-old’s death a homicide, and an investigation is ongoing. He had been living at the encampment and was discovered on the 1300 block of East 120th Street on Wednesday morning.

    Friends told ABC 7 that the former Eagles defensive lineman suffered from CTE, a degenerative brain disease associated with repeated head trauma.

      Investigators believe Johnson had been living at the encampment at the time of his death. Friends said Johnson had health issues later in life that contributed to his situation.
