Penn football player commits suicide

[byroan]

Two days after one of the best games of his career, Penn running back Kyle Ambrogi committed suicide, the university and police said. The 21-year-old senior, who died at his suburban Havertown home Monday, had been battling depression, the Daily News reported Wednesday, quoting the player's family.

``I knew my brother had been having some problems,'' Ambrogi's brother, Greg, a sophomore defensive back on the team, told the paper. ``I thought he was getting better. I can't believe it happened. I can't cry yet.''

Wow.

Sad story. Psychology is very important nowadays. Depression is one of the worst deseases in the US. That's one of the reasons why I am trying to get into medschool to become a psychiatrist
