He was just 47 years old. Two days after <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> of the news broke, officials confirmed Giambi had died by suicide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Cops Ponder Whether \u2018Walking Dead\u2019 Alum\u2019s Death May Not Have Been By Suicide<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, a new report from the Los Angeles County Coroner\u2019s Office details some potential context for the former baseball slugger\u2019s tragic passing.\u00a0First obtained by\u00a0<em>People<\/em> on Thursday, the report indicates that Giambi suffered a severe brain trauma about six months prior to his death \u2014 he was hit in the head by a baseball at some point in August of last year.<\/p>\n<p>The former pro athlete\u2019s mother, who was the first person to find his body after his passing, was the first one to connect the dots on the injury being an issue leading up to his suicide. Per the coroner\u2019s docs, the mourning mom told authorities that Jeremy \u201chad not been the same since\u201d the head injury, and had become \u201cvery negative, emotional, and paranoid\u201d in the months following the incident.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely clear exactly what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened on that fateful day in August of 2021, but the injury did seem severe. The report notes that Giambi, who was working as a baseball coach for younger athletes at the time, was struck severely enough in the head that he had to have surgery to repair a broken cheekbone. Oof\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Even after the surgery, though, he \u201cseemed different,\u201d according to his mother. Obviously in recent years we\u2019ve just scratched the surface of learning about brain injuries in sports. Several pro athletes in recent years who have died by suicide have been retroactively diagnosed with CTE \u2014 chronic traumatic encephalopathy \u2014 which is believed to cause depression, cognitive impairment, and increased aggression. It makes sense they would worry about it.<\/p>\n<p>The former MLB star went to a neurologist to see if there had been a more lasting impact from the injury, but the outlet notes he was \u201cnever officially diagnosed\u201d with any condition. Even so, Giambi\u2019s mom told the coroner\u2019s office that he quickly became \u201cvery negative and would let the smallest things ruin his day.\u201d So sad this is how it all ended\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Machine Gun Kelly Came Close To Shooting Himself During Phone Call With Megan Fox<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giambi\u2019s death was a huge loss for the sports world.
