Rumors are flying that Jason Hairston took his own life today. Can't verify it, but KUIU customer service is closed until tomorrow. Found this.

Prayers for the family.

I’m seeing a few places on social media that the KUIU owner Jason committed suicide? Anybody hear anything along those lines?

Wow, hope this is fake news.

[trophyhunt]

He had the world in the palm of his hands, I just don’t get it.  Shocked

He founded Sitka Gear originally and then sold out to Gore and started KUIU.

It's easy to think about it from your point of view, you aren't him. There is a good chance he had CTE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy) which has been found in high school football players. This guy played in the NFL, albeit a short career. The medical profession pretty much knows jack about how the brain actually works.
