Sad news: Ryan Freel, who was drafted by and briefly played for #BlueJays before going to the Reds, reportedly has committed suicide at 36.

Unfortunate news.
Looking at his Wikipedia, you can't help but wonder if maybe the concussions he suffered played a role in this.
That and the fact there is a whole section on the voice he talks to in his head

Freel played for the Jays in 2001

So sad. It just offends logic.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?
