A video of Aldon Smith getting a haircut just days before his death has surfaced online, showing the former NFL star in a reflective mood during a routine barbershop visit.

In the clip, Smith is seated in the barber’s chair as he chats casually with his barber. At one point, he mentions he’s "had better days," but doesn’t go into detail when asked further.

Smith appears hesitant to elaborate, saying he’s been dealing with something he’s "had to deal with" his whole life, and noting he’s currently struggling with how things are unfolding, without providing specifics.

In looking at his arrest record, he had some demons and apparent addictions.

Sad that addictions usually show up in these cases because the people affected never know how to deal with the problem so they self medicate for avoidance.

I hadn't followed his career at the tail end. I didn't realize he had to spend a year in jail for a felony DUI charge, and presumably was attempting to make a comeback. If you haven't listened to the TMZ video, I recommend you watch it. It's now evident he was reaching out for help, but the guy cutting his hair had no idea how down in the dumps he was.

Just listen to people struggling. Don't judge. They need somebody to listen and hear them.

Tragic. He was mega talented in his prime.

Must be one of those dudes that could never escape his own mind. Sad, man. The things people have to struggle with nowadays, some people never truly get to live.
