Message: [QUOTE="Quietude, post: 2623826, member: 6588"] I have no doubt what you've written is correct - CTE is caused by head trauma. But my question still stands, have there been any studies of non-athletes to conclusively prove that they too didn't have CTE, caused by something of which we are not aware? I understand other diseases like depression can result in suicide. But as depression can be a symptom of CTE, how do we know that Anthony Bourdain didn't have CTE? Has anybody checked? Slim chance, but maybe it is CTE related and the cause is something other than head trauma. [/QUOTE]
