His family revealed the diagnosis, honoring his brain donation to Boston University’s CTE Center, where Dr. Ann McKee confirmed the severe, progressive condition that caused cognitive decline, hallucinations, and memory loss in Byers. His widow described the heartbreaking transformation of a vibrant man into someone struggling daily with mental health challenges. Byers joins a grim list of 19 out of 20 former NHL players studied at the center who also had CTE — including legends like Bobby Hull and Bob Probert. His sacrifice fuels vital research aimed at diagnosing CTE earlier and finding treatments to protect future athletes and their families.
