Because of this 911 call, we now know the woman who was staying with the famous NFL football player when he shot himself. Megan Noderer made the 911 call which you can replay below. Also read what we know about her and see the photos that are available.
In better times, Megan is a stunning woman with long red hair, rosy cheeks with some freckles and a gorgeous smile with beautiful teeth. We can see why she was Junior Seau’s girlfriend. Athletes often get their pick of the litter, and she is quite a touchdown. You can blow up her picture in the gallery below to a much larger size than TMZ and other websites are showing.
According to her Linkedin profile, which you can find here, Megan was making her home in the Dallas, Texas area. I find that strange because he has always been based in San Diego, so they either had a long-distance relationship or she had moved recently to be nearer to her boyfriend.
Biography: Megan Noderer is currently a working girl, as a customer account manager for an advertising firm named Aspen Marketing Service. You can find their website here but Megan is not listed among the leadership team. Previously she was employed by Mercedes Benz automobile company among other jobs that she listed. She has a degree from Concord University which is a very small liberal arts college located in West Virginia.
In the 911 call, Megan Noderer is frantic, hyperventilating and screaming at times. You can listen for yourself below and read the transcript below, but be prepared for a difficult phone call.
Transcript:
911 emergency
Oh my god, my boyfriend shot himself.
[uniteligible screaming]
Ma’am what’s going on there?
My boyfriend just shot himself.
Who shot himself?
Junior Seau, my boyfriend.
Your boyfriend?
Yes [screaming] I just got in. I think he is dead.
Ma’am, can you take a deep breath for me? Your boyfriend? Do you know if he is breathing?
I don’t think so.
Okay. Where is the gun?
Next to him in the bed.
Okay, what is your boyfriend’s name.
Junior Seau.
Okay, ma’am what is your name?
Megan Noderer
Megan, do you know when this happened?
I’ve been gone for an hour.
Within the last hour.
Yes. Oh God, No.
Okay Megan, I have help on the way. Can you take a deep breath for me.
Are you sure he is not breathing?
Where did he shoot himself?
I don’t think he is breathing ma’am.
Can you check his pulse, see if his chest is rising.
Okay Megan, where did he shoot himself?
I can’t tell, it looks like in the heart.
He shot himself in the chest?
It looks like it yeah.
Okay Meghan, I’m going to transfer you to the fire department….
She then performed CPR with a fire department employee on the phone. She had never done it before. Megan is hyperventilating during the phone call, and then sobbing hysterically at the end after paramedics arrive at the scene when it was clear that he could not be saved. The audio 911 call is heart wrenching so be prepared for a difficult few minutes.
Megan Noderer acted heroically under these terrible circumstances. She tried to save his life but he was already gone. God bless her.
Your thoughts?

1) Maybe she is from TX but is not living there currently as the company she is listed as working with is in the San Diego area. She probably just never changed the geographical information.
2) She wasn’t with him when he shot himself. That is misleading. She found him after he shot himself.

Sal, thanks for your comments about Megan Noderer.
1) The company she is working for has several locations including Dallas Texas and we know that she started work in that office. Trying to confirm what happened next.
2) You are right and I changed a word to make this story more accurate.

I don’t think she ever performed CPR. From what I could tell, she struggled to get him off the bed to the floor, and while she was doing that first responders arrived. Before the fire department dispatcher gave her any CPR instructions (she said she didn’t know how to do it), the 911 operator came back on and asked her to let the first responders in. I just wanted to clarify that. It is a very heartbreaking call to listen to. So sad.
May 5th, 2012 at 11:50 am
Wow – That was the saddest one yet. I thought Brittney Murphy’s mom’s 911 call was sad. Sounds like Megan truly cared for him. She did everything right – I hope that she can find peace. God Bless her.

Juniors career ended eight years ago. Pushing himself further shows he had a problem with reality. It is sad he did himself in. I met him in 85 and around him until he signed with the chargers. He was a narcissist and public insulter. His drug uses legend.
Rest in peace Jr.
May 5th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
So sad…..
May 5th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Given the circumstances (she came up on a terribly traumatic scene of someone she cares for and given the fact she has had no training in first aid or emegency response), I feel Megan did the best she could to do the right thing(s)…and, her actions during this time are, in fact, heroic. Megan, you did good. You did great! We are proud of you! Tim and Lesly Ceballos

Okay, at one point she tells the EMT’s she has been on the phone for 6 minutes. I looked at the time stamp on the audio and it was almost exactly 6 minutes. How could she know that?
I will say this. That’s a brave woman. She had to know he was dead and she still tried CPR and moved him and all that stuff. Don’t think I could do it.
I’m still scratching my head why he didn’t leave a note.
May 6th, 2012 at 5:46 am
And just another observation. How did she know he was in the spare bedroom? I don’t think I’ve been in my spare bedroom in a week or two. Just seems odd she comes home, no Junior around, and she then goes into the spare bedroom. She was only gone an hour right? First thing you do when you get home is go into the spare bedroom looking for your boyfriend?
May 6th, 2012 at 5:50 am
Can’t wait until the will comes out. Its going to raise a few eyebrows if Junior left everything to his girlfriend.
May 6th, 2012 at 9:35 am
How did she know that he shot himself? If I came home and my wife was dead and a gun was next to her, my first instinct is NOT that she shot herself! I can’t believe that this investigation is closed already! There is no note. He was shot in the chest. What about the other roommate? His family and friends say there was no signs of depression. He was not erratic as Dave Duerson was. How is this case closed in just a few days???
May 6th, 2012 at 11:45 am
Maybe she came in and didn’t find him where she expected and started looking around the house. Haven’t you ever come home and didn’t see your spouse, or whoever, and starting calling their name and looking for them?
How horrible to have found him…it took a lot of courage to try to get him off the bed, she wasn’t concerned she could hurt herself. Though she was hysterical throughout, she still managed to follow instructions…I can’t even imagine…..
Junior was someone who took care of others, sometimes those kind of people have the hardest time asking for help…they need to be the rock.
May 7th, 2012 at 4:22 am
it dont make sense..I dont think junior killed himself..and how could someone who just came into the house and say that he killed himself…I agree with chase..this case should be blown wide open

Seau’s medical history with depression/anxiety should be publicly revealed since the medical examiner is declaring that Seau shot himself. He is a celebrity and the public has a right to know why authorities are saying he committed suicide. What did Seau say to his gf before she left him to go to the gym? What did Seau say to anyo9ne else to indicate that he was depressed? There are no reports that he was either coping with depression or post-concussive symptoms. If Seau wasn’t a ‘football player’ with assumed multiple concussions, who believes that this death would be explained away with such a quick one day assumption of suicide?
May 11th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Sam,
You are a f*cking idiot. Maybe she came home, couldn’t find him, and then went to the spare bedroom, and then made the call? you ever think of that genius? and i noticed you are implying she killed him….youre a moron. wanna know why the USA is looked at as a bunch of idiots? its cause of people like you. Oh, also, PHONES KEEP TRACK OF HOW LONG YOUVE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR!!! f*ck you’re dumb!!!
May 17th, 2012 at 9:57 am
This Megan loved Junior so much she couldn’t find it in her to be with his mom and dad, at the scene, funeral, not even one kind word to the media, and even for the following she has to say one kind word….like Thank you. Seems like she is alone somewhere grieving with her boyfriend from Texas.
May 17th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
None of any of this changes the fact that another athelete who made tremendous contributions to his community is gone. So what does it matter if she isnt around, she is insignificant and really doesnt matter. She did’nt shot him thats highly unlikely. He provided opportunities that provided jobs that took care of families and many other avenues for people to improve their lives. It is sad because he loss will be losses for many in many ways. Depression effects everyone differently some are more vocal, some remain in that private “hell” until they can figure a way out, one way or the other. His was the other. Sometimes in that state, its hard to conceptualize how your existence if no longer, will trigger so much pain in another, maybe causing the same “hell” in someone else. He wa a father a friend, somebody loved him and the details of how no longer matter.
