NEW YORK — The forensic pathologist who identified CTE — the brain disease afflicting numerous football players — and who was played by Will Smith in “Concussion,” is working on a memoir.
Dr. Bennet Omalu has a six-figure deal with Christian publisher Zondervan. The memoir has the working title “The Truth Doesn’t Have a Side” and will come out in fall 2017.
Omalu first diagnosed CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, after performing an autopsy on former Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster in 2002.
